Scrum training courses at Capgemini Academy

Capgemini Academy offers a broad range of practice-oriented and certified training courses that help you improve your skills in Scrum. Our courses are taught by experienced trainers who are experts in their fields. 

Why is Scrum so important?

Scrum is an Agile framework that helps teams work together efficiently and effectively. It offers a structured approach to product development, with the focus on collaboration, flexibility and continuous improvement.  

By using Scrum, teams can respond quickly to changes and customer needs, resulting in higher product quality and satisfaction. 

What are the roles in a Scrum team?

In addition to Scrum team members, there are also the roles of Scrum Master and Product Owner. The Scrum Master facilitates the team process, removes obstacles and ensures that the team complies with Scrum principles.  

The Product Owner is responsible for maximizing the value of the product by managing the product backlog and prioritizing tasks. Both roles ensure a smooth and efficient workflow within the team. 

Why take a Scrum training course?

If you want to become a certified Scrum Master or Scrum Product Owner, Capgemini’s focused training courses prepare you for the Professional Scrum Master level I or Professional Scrum Product Owner level I exams given by Scrum.org (the organization behind Scrum). Capgemini also offers the Advanced version of both training courses. 

Scrum in depth

A thorough understanding of Scrum enables professionals to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of their teams. This starts with the application of the Scrum pillars: transparency, inspection and adaptation. In short: decisions are made based on observations and are followed by continuous improvements. 

The success of Scrum depends partly on how well team members comply with the Scrum values: commitment, focus, openness, respect and courage. Team members commit to achieving their goals and helping each other. That’s why they’re open about the work and its challenges.  

Team members respect each other for their qualities and have the courage to do the right thing, even when this is difficult.  

The various events in Scrum, which all take place in a so-called Sprint, ensure focus on the right subject. 

Sprint-planning: this concerns setting the objectives for the current Sprint and making a plan to achieve those objectives. 

Daily Scrum: it’s important to inspect the progress towards the Sprint goal daily and adjust the Sprint Backlog as necessary. 

Sprint Review: after the Sprint, it is important to work with stakeholders to inspect the outcomes and to determine future adjustments. 

Sprint Retrospective: it’s also important to inspect the course of the past Sprint and think of ways to increase quality and effectiveness.
