Certified ScrumMaster Training
What is Scrum and ScrumMaster?
Scrum is an iterative and incremental agile software development method for managing software projects and product or application development. Scrum master is the facilitator for a development team using the Scrum method. Scrum methodology allows a team to self-organize and to respond to changes quickly.
