Applying Professional Scrum Training (APS)
Discover how Scrum helps teams collaborate more effectively, learn faster and deliver more value in complex environments. In this hands-on training, you experience Scrum primarily by doing it. No lengthy theory sessions — just working together in teams, practising with realistic scenarios and seeing how Scrum actually works in practice.
Content
Many teams know Scrum mainly from theory or isolated ceremonies. In practice, genuine collaboration, ownership and continuous improvement often prove harder than expected.
This training is centred on experience. You work continuously in Scrum teams on assignments, simulations and practical scenarios. In doing so, you discover not only how Scrum works, but above all why Scrum helps teams collaborate more effectively, get faster feedback and create greater focus on customer value.
Topics covered include empiricism, teamwork, Sprint Planning, Product Backlog management, stakeholder collaboration, transparency, Definition of Done and continuous improvement.
The training is highly interactive and practical. You learn by working together, experimenting and reflecting directly on what does and does not work within Scrum teams.
In the open cohort, you also learn from the experiences and perspectives of people from different organisations and sectors. As a private training, APS helps teams build shared alignment, collaboration and a common Scrum language within their own organisational context.
Who is this training for?
This training is designed for professionals who want a better understanding of Scrum and apply it more effectively in practice. You will get the most from this training if you:
- Work within a Scrum team
- Are a Scrum Master, Product Owner or Developer
- Are new to Scrum
- Want to learn more about Agile teamwork
- Want to improve collaboration within teams
- Want to develop a better understanding of empirical working
- Want to gain an internationally recognised Scrum certification
Put simply: you want to not only understand Scrum, but experience how it helps teams work better together and deliver value.
What will you learn during this training?
During the training, you actively work together in Scrum teams and experience how Scrum functions in practice.
You work across topics such as Sprint Planning, Product Backlog management, teamwork, transparency, empiricism and continuous improvement. Along the way, you discover how Scrum helps teams get faster feedback, collaborate more effectively and make better product decisions.
You also experience how the different Scrum accountabilities work together around product development and value delivery. Topics such as team dynamics, stakeholder collaboration and Definition of Done are also covered in depth.
The training is highly interactive and practice-orientated. Through simulations, group assignments and practical scenarios, you build not just a deeper knowledge of Scrum, but a clearer understanding of how effective Scrum teams work together.
After this training
By the end of the training, you will have a clearer understanding of how Scrum helps teams work more effectively together and deliver more value in complex environments.
You understand how Scrum events, empiricism and continuous improvement contribute to greater focus, transparency and collaboration within teams. You also have a better grasp of how Scrum helps teams get faster feedback and navigate change and uncertainty more effectively.

You can also join the Connected Movement community, where professionals share experiences, insights and real-world cases around Scrum, Agile teamwork and digital transformation.
