Attendees should have a solid understanding of agile concepts and the principles and practices of Scrum prior to tackling this material.

They will discover ways to effectively scale Scrum, in one location or on a globally distributed team. The course will explore what it means to be agile while meeting regulatory compliance requirements, how to overcome common problems, and tools for measuring the benefits of agile.

Agile isn\'t a final destination; it\'s something you grow towards each day. Learn how to iterate towards a higher level of agility, no matter where you are on your journey.
