SFC Live-Virtual Class (LVC) Course Topics

The first session provides an overview of Scrum, an adaptive, iterative, and flexible framework designed to deliver significant value quickly and consistently throughout a project. It also explores the Scrum framework as outlined in the Scrum Body of Knowledge (SBOK® Guide). Scrum is structured to support the development of products and services across all industries and project types, regardless of complexity. This session delves into the Scrum process, starting with the creation of a Project Vision, followed by the Product Owner’s development of a Prioritized Product Backlog, which includes a list of User Stories with defined Acceptance Criteria. These User Stories are then delivered through iterative development cycles known as Sprints.
The second session starts after the first session and this session provides an explanation of the SBOK® Guide and its framework.
  • Purpose of the SBOK® Guide: The SBOK® Guide was created as a comprehensive resource for organizations and project management professionals looking to implement Scrum.
  • Framework of the SBOK® Guide: The SBOK® Guide is organized into three main sections: Principles, Aspects, and Processes.
 Principles: This section covers the six fundamental principles that underpin the Scrum framework.
  • Introduction: Here, we explore what principles are and why it is essential for every Scrum project to adhere to these foundational principles.
  • Roles Guide: This part outlines the sections of the SBOK® Guide that are most relevant to the core Scrum roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Scrum Team.
  • Empirical Process Control: This section explains the first Scrum principle, focusing on the concepts of transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
  • Self-organization: Discussing the second principle, this section emphasizes how self-organized teams deliver greater value, foster better team buy-in, and create an environment conducive to innovation and growth.
  • Collaboration: This part highlights the third principle, which views product development as a collaborative process requiring active involvement from all stakeholders to achieve the highest value. It also covers the core dimensions of collaboration: awareness, articulation, and appropriation.
  • Value-based Prioritization: The fourth principle emphasizes Scrum’s focus on maximizing business value in the shortest time.
  • Time-boxing: The fifth principle treats time as a limiting factor and includes an explanation of key Scrum events such as the Sprint, Daily Standup, Sprint Planning, and Sprint Review meetings, all of which are time-boxed.
  • Iterative Development: The sixth principle stresses the importance of iterative development in managing change and building products that align with customer needs.
  • Scrum vs. Traditional Project Management: This section compares Scrum principles with traditional project management approaches (like the Waterfall model), explaining why Scrum is better suited for today’s rapidly changing environment.
 Aspects: This section outlines five key aspects to consider in any Scrum project.
  • Organization: Understanding roles and responsibilities is critical for successful Scrum implementation. This topic discusses core roles like Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Scrum Team, as well as non-core roles such as Stakeholders and Vendors.
  • Business Justification: Scrum emphasizes value-driven delivery. Before starting a project, it’s vital to assess the business case, ensuring that the project aligns with organizational needs and has a clear justification and viability.
  • Quality: In Scrum, quality is defined by the product’s ability to meet its Acceptance Criteria and deliver the expected business value. This section also clarifies the difference between Acceptance Criteria and Done Criteria and how they influence Scrum team velocity.
  • Change: Scrum embraces change through iterative Sprints that incorporate customer feedback on each deliverable. This allows customers to interact with the Scrum Team regularly and adjust requirements as needed.
  • Risk: Risk management in Scrum is proactive and iterative, beginning at project initiation and continuing throughout the project lifecycle. Risks are managed through a Risk Prioritized Product Backlog.
Phases: This section explains the phases of a Scrum project, which consist of nineteen fundamental processes grouped into five key phases.
  • Initiate Phase: This phase covers initial activities such as creating the Project Vision, identifying the Scrum Master and stakeholders, forming the Scrum Team, developing Epics, creating the Prioritized Product Backlog, and conducting Release Planning.
  • Plan & Estimate: This phase addresses planning and estimating tasks, including the creation and approval of User Stories, estimating and committing to User Stories, creating Tasks, estimating Tasks, and developing the Sprint Backlog.
  • Implement: This phase involves executing tasks and creating deliverables, conducting Daily Standup Meetings, and regularly grooming the Product Backlog to ensure it stays current.
  • Review & Retrospect: In this phase, the deliverables are reviewed, and improvements to practices and methods are identified for future iterations.
  • Release: The Release phase focuses on handing over the Accepted Deliverables to the customer and documenting lessons learned to internalize them for future projects.
