A NEW Way to Learn Scrum—For Teams and Individuals

Working on a Scrum Team - Live, Online Public Class

Scrum Overview

• Apply principles and practices of Scrum to your team's processes.
• Understand and explain to others why Scrum works and how it delivers results.

Most Scrum teams don’t struggle because they lack talent, they struggle because they don’t know how to work as a team.

Does your team feel stuck? Are there mismatched expectations, miscommunication, and inconsistent practices?

For the first time, our popular private training course, Working on a Scrum Team, will be offered in a live, online format, publicly available as a two-day training course.

Training for EVERY Scrum Team Member

This course is for everyone on a team—designers, QA testers, analysts, Scrum Masters, product owners, developers, and more. It’s about learning how to work well together.

With expert facilitation, practical exercises, and the chance to ask questions directly related to your team’s challenges, this course ensures any team member leaves with a shared understanding of how to work together as a successful Scrum Team.

Build a Shared Vision of Scrum in Just Two Days

Inconsistent practices
Dull and pointless meetings
Disengaged team members

Go from this...

A unified vision
Debates that spark ideas

Train Your Whole Team - Without the Cost Barrier

Training an entire team can be expensive and hard to coordinate. Working on a Scrum Team makes it easy.

And while training has a cost, so does inefficiency. Miscommunication, missed deadlines, and unclear roles add up over time. This course helps you fix those issues now—so your team stops losing time, sprint after sprint.

Bring four or more people from the same company, and your team gets an exclusive private breakout room to work on exercises together.

FAQ

Can I take this as an individual?
Yes! Working on a Scrum Team is just as valuable for individuals. If you work on a Scrum team—whether you’re a developer, designer, tester, marketer, or in any other role—this course will help you understand how to work more effectively within Scrum. If you can get your teammates to participate, you’ll benefit even further by hearing the same message, working through exercises as a unit, and leaving with a shared understanding of how to improve their collaboration.

Do I need a Scrum Master or Product Owner certification to attend?
No, this is not a certification course, and no prior certification is needed. Working on a Scrum Team is about how Scrum teams collaborate effectively. 

Should I take this if I’ve already taken a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) course?
If you’ve taken CSM, you’ll find some familiar concepts in this course, but the key difference is that Working on a Scrum Team is designed for everyone on a Scrum team—not just SMs, POs, or developers.

Should I take this if I’ve already taken a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course?
Yes. CSPO focuses on the Product Owner role, while Working on a Scrum Team shows how all roles in a Scrum team can work better together.

How does the private room work?
If four or more people from the same company register, they get one or more private breakout rooms during exercises. This allows teams to practice applying what they learn directly to their own challenges, making the training even more relevant.

What if I can’t make the date of the bonus session with Mike Cohn?
The bonus session is a one-time live event, but if you can’t attend, your team can still benefit from everything covered in the main course. The best way to get lasting value is to attend with your team so you can continue improving together.

What if I register as an individual—will I still be able to participate in breakout exercises?
Yes, individuals will be placed into breakout groups together. In your breakout rooms you’ll have a chance to discuss real challenges with peers from different industries and roles, gain fresh perspectives on how Scrum is applied in different environments, and practice key Scrum techniques in a collaborative setting.

Even if you’re attending solo, you’ll get hands-on experience applying Scrum concepts and learning alongside other professionals.

Is this course recorded?
Yes, all participants receive a recording of the session so they can revisit key concepts later.
