An Introduction to Professional Scrum Although Scrum has been around for more than 25 years, it is still a new concept to many. Moreover, there are myths that arise. In this session, Eric Naiburg, Chief Operating Officer for Scrum.org, provides an overview of the Scrum framework. He'll discuss how Scrum enables agility, and how an empirical process can empower teams that use it. You'll learn about the empirical process in Scrum where decisions are made based on observation and experimentation rather than on detailed upfront planning. We will apply this learning using facts and real-world examples. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU. What You Will Learn: Common myths and misconceptions about Scrum The 2020 Scrum Guide, Scrum Events, and Scrum Artefacts The Project Manager and Scrum Accountabilities in Scrum How Scrum can be used with other practices like Kanban, DevOps, Continuous Delivery, and more
