Scrum 101 is a foundational course designed to help learners understand the Scrum framework from the ground up. This course begins by introducing the history of Scrum and its founders, giving context to why Scrum has become the most widely used Agile framework in software development and beyond. It explores the challenges of complex projects and how Scrum empiricism—inspection, adaptation, and transparency—enables teams to manage complexity effectively.

The course explains Scrum values, including commitment, courage, focus, openness, and respect, which guide team behavior and collaboration. It then dives into the key Scrum roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Scrum Developer, highlighting their accountabilities and how they work together to deliver value.

Learners will gain a detailed understanding of Scrum artifacts—the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Product Increment—and associated commitments like Product Goal, Sprint Goal, and Definition of Done. The course also covers Scrum events: Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective, explaining how each event promotes transparency, inspection, and adaptation.

By the end of this course, learners will be able to understand and apply Scrum principles, participate effectively in Scrum teams, and prepare for further Scrum Master or Agile certification training.
