Agile Scrum Adoption for Non Software Business Teams

Scrum was born in software but its rhythm of short cycles, visible work and regular review helps marketing, HR, operations and service teams too. This course adapts Scrum roles, events and artefacts for teams that do not write code. It is built for African business units that want faster, more focused delivery without heavy project bureaucracy.
