Scaled Professional Scrum | SPS (Scrum.org accredited training course) Training Course

The Applying Professional Scrum (APS) is a two-day course designed to teach Scrum through highly practical methods. Participants dive straight into learning through instruction and team-based exercises.

By working through a series of Sprints, student teams build a software application, confronting real-life challenges along the way. This process demonstrates the mechanics, roles, principles, and (empirical) process of Scrum. Common mistakes and misunderstandings are discussed to help students develop greater awareness of these issues.

Applying Professional Scrum (APS) is the ideal training for teams and anyone eager to experience the Scrum way of working. It also lays the foundation for role-specific training for Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and Developers, as offered in Scrum.org’s Professional Scrum Master, Professional Scrum Product Owner, and Professional Scrum Developer classes.

The course introduces the mechanics of Scrum, as well as provides insights into complexity, team-based collaboration, and self-organization as essential elements in mastering Scrum. Students will experience how the Scrum framework improves product development efforts.

From its emphasis on practical application, the course exposes common missteps, increases the awareness of the associated symptoms, and provides prescriptive guidance to avoid going off track.

Students are challenged to act in terms of Scrum. They take home an increased understanding of how to collaborate better and work as a team.
