You will explore real-world case studies from companies like Spotify and Netflix, engage in hands-on learning, and analyze how these distinct roles interact to deliver value efficiently. Whether you are part of a Scrum team or collaborate with one, this course will equip you with the foundational knowledge to navigate Agile projects confidently, ensuring everyone understands who does what, why it matters, and how to work together to achieve outstanding results.
