Fundamentals Course

Agility is more than just a process, it’s a mindset that drives innovation, adaptability, and value delivery

Many teams and organisations struggle with Agile because they focus on implementing frameworks without first understanding the purpose of agility. This course ensures you build real agility – embedding adaptability, collaboration, and customer focus into the way you work, rather than just applying tools and practices.

Before diving into frameworks, it’s crucial to understand why Agile exists, what problems it solves, and how it can unlock opportunities for your team and organisation.

Organisations that embrace agility don’t just keep up—they stay ahead. By adapting quickly to market shifts, evolving customer needs, and emerging opportunities, they gain a lasting competitive edge.

Whether you’re:

New to Agile and looking for a clear understanding of how it works.
Part of a transitioning organisation and needs a shared foundation for Agile adoption.
Already working in Agile but want to reconnect with its purpose and reset your team’s approach.
Championing Agile within your organisation and want to strengthen your knowledge to drive real impact.

This course provides practical guidance on making agility part of how you think and work – so your organisation can deliver real value, stay competitive, and continuously adapt to change.

Applying Professional Scrum (APS) is a hands-on, activity-based course in which students experience how Professional Scrum and the Scrum framework improve their ability to deliver value compared to traditional methods. Scrum provides a better way of working that highlights the use of experimentation, incremental delivery of customer value, frequent feedback loops and the fostering of strong team dynamics.

The course provides an active learning environment for students to engage in discussion, team-based exercises, and individual reflection. During the course, students work in Scrum Teams over a series of Sprints to learn Scrum while using Scrum.

What you will learn

Over the 2 days, students learn to apply Professional Scrum. They experience new, agile ways of working that enable teams to deliver more value, satisfy stakeholders and work better together. Students work together as a team in a series of Sprints to solve complex problems, facing similar challenges that they face outside of class and learning how to use Scrum to address them. These Sprints enable students to see the practical application of Scrum and to understand the value of an Agile mindset. Additionally, these Sprints expose common missteps and misunderstandings often seen while using Scrum, allowing students to develop an awareness of the associated symptoms and how to correct them. Students not only learn Scrum; they learn how to use Scrum well.

Who should attend

The Applying Professional Scrum course is the perfect introduction, reboot or refresher to Scrum. It is excellent training for organizations, teams, and individuals wanting to experience the benefits of Scrum, or for those interested in continuing their learning with more advanced training.

Professionals who are part of a team that currently uses Scrum, but desire a refresher so that they get the most out of their use of Scrum.
Professionals who are joining a team that currently uses Scrum.
Professionals that don’t use Scrum directly but want to learn how to work with colleagues that do use Scrum.
Professionals that are investigating to see if Scrum makes sense for them and their colleagues.
Professionals that are part of an organization that intends to use Scrum in the near future.
Teams who are learning to use Scrum together in their organizations

The course also provides the foundational Scrum knowledge needed for those wishing to continue their education with role-focused (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Developer, Leader) training classes. APS is not recommended for advanced Scrum professionals.

This course is designed to be domain-agnostic; it conveys the use of Scrum in any domain or industry with complex problems to solve. Trainers typically have experience in multiple industries and may be able to tailor the course to the needs of your team. Students and teams building software products may want to consider our domain-specific course: Applying Professional Scrum for Software Development.
