Certified Scrum Master (in person), Dec 11-12, 2024

Get deep knowledge of Scrum and Agile from Tomas Björkholm, the author of the books ”Prioritera, fokusera, leverera” (in Swedish only) and ”Kanban in 30 days”. Tomas spends most of his time helping companies in their Agile journey, so count on a lot of real-life tips.

The goal of the course is for you to gain a basic understanding of how and why Scrum works, as well as how this can be applied in practical terms.
