Working with SCRUM

Total study time: 24 hours

What if you could manage projects with more control, deliver faster results, and collaborate more smoothly? In this 1-on-1 course, you’ll learn how to apply SCRUM in a way that makes a real impact on your day-to-day work. With personal coaching, interactive online modules, and hands-on assignments, you’ll build the skills to work agile—confidently and effectively.

SCRUM 

SCRUM is an agile project method that helps teams work together more flexibly and efficiently. Instead of following a rigid plan, SCRUM uses short work cycles called sprints. After each sprint, the team delivers a usable result—making it easier to adapt quickly and improve continuously.

A SCRUM team has three key roles:

  • Product Owner – sets priorities and ensures the team delivers maximum value
  • SCRUM Master – guides the process and helps remove roadblocks
  • Development Team – works independently and delivers working results every sprint

This clear structure builds ownership, focus, and strong collaboration.

SCRUM is now used across many sectors—from IT and software development to marketing, education, and geospatial projects. It’s a proven method for teams that want to move faster and work smarter.

What will you learn in this blended learning course?

In this course, you’ll learn how to use SCRUM to plan better, collaborate more effectively, and deliver results faster. You’ll explore key elements like sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, and backlog management.

You’ll also dive into how each SCRUM role works together to drive a project forward—from prioritizing work to solving blockers and delivering value.

And yes, this course includes GIS! You’ll apply SCRUM to real-world examples from GIS system development. That means you won’t just learn the theory—you’ll see how it works in projects involving geodata and geospatial software.

Whether you work in IT, spatial planning, software development, or geospatial projects, this course helps you understand SCRUM and use it effectively in your own environment.

Why choose this course on working with SCRUM?

Blended learning gives you the best of both worlds—live interaction and flexible, self-paced study—so you can build job-ready SCRUM skills on your terms.

We kick off with a live session where you dive straight into team collaboration. With support from experienced SCRUM coaches, you’ll plan sprints, define team roles, and tackle realistic project challenges right away.

Then, our self-paced modules let you build your foundation. You’ll explore each part of the SCRUM process, from backlog refinement to delivering value in short, focused cycles. Along the way, you’ll develop a deep understanding of how to use SCRUM in your own work.

Later, in a second live session, you’ll apply your skills to real case studies—including GIS-based projects—and receive personal feedback to strengthen your approach.

A standout feature of this course is its case-based structure. You’ll work on practical exercises that mirror real-world scenarios in IT, software, or geo-related fields—so you’re ready to apply your skills right away.

By combining expert-led training with hands-on learning, this course helps you move beyond theory. By the end, you’ll be equipped to lead agile projects, solve problems faster, and deliver meaningful results.
