The training materials are consistent and applicable globally
The training materials have been developed and are continuously updated with the invaluable contribution of one of Scrum’s creators, Ken Schwaber, along with the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Trainers (PST) community. This collaborative effort ensures that the materials consistently reflect the latest industry practices and the current landscape in software development companies.
While our trainers bring their unique teaching styles and experiences to the courses, it’s important to note that the training materials themselves remain consistent worldwide. This means that students can expect to learn the same core concepts and principles, regardless of the location or the instructor delivering the training.
