Module 3

- Here you will learn:

The Importance of a “Done” Increment
- If Scrum is to be reduced to one and only one purpose then it would be to create a “Done” increment. It is not enough to have a “Done” increment every few sprints.

How is commitment associated with a Sprint Goal?
Scrum Master’s role in facilitating creation of meaningful Sprint Goals.

- Here you will learn:
To bring the focus back on the purpose of the event.
Use facilitation techniques to make the events more meaningful.

Help Product Owner to manage Product Backlog
Support Product Owner to deliver business value.
