Agile Scrum is the most popular hybrid of AGILE as it provides a framework that allows teams to address complex adaptive problems, while efficiently and creatively delivering products, services, or results of the highest possible value to their internal and external customers. This course provides a basic understanding of Agile Scrum principles and tools and techniques used in implementing Agile Scrum in a coordinated fashion to ensure successful project outcomes. The Scrum framework improves project performance in three ways including the below:

• Emphasis on communication between the team and stakeholders
• Timely feedback from stakeholders
• A safe and courageous environment within the team

What will you learn?   In this course, students will learn how to work in an Agile Scrum environment which follows the principles that teams constantly communicate with their customers and fellow team members. The team keeps their design simple and clean. They get feedback by Scrum reviews at the end of each timeboxed scrum. Finally, they deliver the product, service, or result to the customers as early as possible, by focusing on high-value functionality in early scrums and implementing changes as suggested. This course includes 4 hours of training and 15 videos. Below are the different topics covered during the course:

• Agile Principles and Mindset
• Value Driven Delivery
• Stakeholder Engagement
• Team Performance
• Adaptive Planning
• Problem Detection and Resolution

  Extreme Programming (XP) is an agile software development framework that facilitates the production of higher quality software, and a higher quality of life for the development team. This course provides a basic understanding of AGILE/XP principles and tools and techniques used in implementing AGILE/XP in a coordinated fashion to ensure successful project outcomes. Extreme Programming is successful because it stresses customer satisfaction, as opposed to delivering everything the customer could possibly want on some date far in the future. The emphasis is on delivering the software in increments that provide the most value to the customer first. Extreme Programming empowers developers to confidently respond to changing customer requirements, even late in the life cycle. This course integrates LEAN principles, where applicable, with AGILE/XP. Lean is a business methodology, initially used to improve throughput in manufacturing, that is used in Adaptive Project Life Cycles to achieve more predictable delivery, greater efficiency, and a customer-centric mindset.  Applying Lean principles to project management facilitates empowerment to project team members to provide better clarity, and delivers projects with an emphasis of delivering value to internal and external customers. What will you learn? In this course, students will learn the benefits of this approach and how XP emphasizes teamwork. XP relies on a simple, yet effective environment that facilitates the formation of high performing teams. The team self-organizes around the problem to solve it as efficiently as possible. XP improves a software project in four ways:

• Emphasis on communication between the team and stakeholders
• Simplicity of methodology
• Timely feedback from stakeholders
• A safe and courageous environment within the team
