PeopleCert SCRUM Master I

Scrum is a framework that helps teams work together. It increases team productivity by encouraging team players to learn through experiences, self-organise, and continuously improve. IT teams use Scrum to develop, deliver, and maintain complex software products. However, Scrum principles can be applied to all kinds of areas: Research, Sales, Marketing, and Customer support - to name a few.

How does Scrum work? Based on Agile principles, it enables teams to self-organise by encouraging close collaboration between all team members and specialisms involved. Scrum challenges the assumptions of the sequential approach to Product development and replaces it with an Iterative process. It includes a set of meetings, tools, and roles that work in harmony to help teams structure and manage their work.The goal of this approach is to timely capture changes in customers' needs, along with any other unpredictable challenges that may occur — for which a sequential approach is not suted. As such, Scrum uses an evidence-based framework that embraces the fact that problems cannot be fully defined upfront. Instead, it focuses on maximising the team's ability to respond to emerging requirements, deliver value quickly, and adapt to new market conditions.

Why is it important to hold a Scrum certification? Holding a Scrum certification proves the candidate's familiarity with Scrum practices, beyond the mere knowledge of terminology. It shows to employers that the candidate has the potential to be the person they need to cover the Scrum Master role in their teams. Whether the candidate is a Scrum beginner or a seasoned professional, a certification a significant advantage when aiming to motivate and lead teammates.
