Read MoreI liked the textbook, I felt that it I was reading someone's thoughts and experiences, not just reading facts (which is boring). The Office Hours are a great place to ask questions and learn from other students. It is truly self-paced. Happy scrumming.

Read MoreThe self-paced course was perfect for letting the information soak in. It was easily digestible and I was able to adjust my scrum mastering slowly as I gained more skills through the course. Having time to review materials and ensure I understood them before moving on made this course so much better than the in-person versions I have attended in the past. I was able to envision how scrum works for MY organization more acutely than in a class setting. It was also wonderful to be able to "report back" to my internal scrum master team when I found particularly insightful quotes and new ways of framing.

The typical Module includes 20-60 minutes of reading (depending on your reading speed), and a multiple-choice quiz. After you complete these, you need to work through assignments in the module/quiz and do one or more scenario-based exercises. Each module will take about 1-3 hours of your time.

Complete 13 Self-Paced Modules with assignments. Attend 4 hours of structured, LO-focused, instructor-led time.

Fastest On-Demand: A fast pace would be two weeks for completion. You need to attend four Open Discussion Hours, and we are each planning to have two available per week.
