Scrum is a framework within which teams can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value.

Scrum is often referred to as an Agile project management framework, but that’s somewhat a misrepresentation, as Scrum does not address a project’s full lifecycle; just the development of products/solutions.

During this webinar, Rajiv will:

• Provide a quick overview of Scrum for the benefit of those unfamiliar with it
• Explore how Project Managers can employ Scrum to effectively develop project deliverables
• Identify the types of projects and scenarios where Scrum will be more/most effective
• Consider if the Project Manager and Scrum Master roles can (or indeed should) be combined

If you are unable to join for the live delivery, please continue to register and they will ensure you get a link to the recording and slides.
