Agile Scrum is one of the ‘lightest’ Agile® methods and therefore less prescriptive than for example Atern. Scrum is also more of a framework than a method and invites further interpretation. In the first instance, it is not necessary to replace all existing functions and artefacts when implementing Scrum. With this, the framework can be completed further. By applying the framework, a restructuring is set in motion. The new structure that then arises forms the basis for continuous improvement.

EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation offers professionals a unique certification that combines agile principles and scrum practices. The exam tests candidates on their understanding of key concepts and their application. The traditional walls between the various disciplines are broken down by the formation of multidisciplinary teams.

Developers, testers, analysts, architects and database administrators are examples of disciplines that can be found in such a multidisciplinary team. By merging all disciplines in a team, document transfers, waiting times and communication problems are reduced.

Agile® Scrum focuses on achieving the goal by successfully working together. Agile® methods are popular with software development and are increasingly being used in other fields. The Scrum way of working involves putting together a multidisciplinary team that organizes itself and that delivers a working product at the end of a sprint.
