Agile Scrum Foundation (EXIN)
Course Description Overview
EXIN Agile Scrum Foundation is a certification that validates a professional’s blended knowledge in Agile methodologies and Scrum practices. Agile Scrum is about working together to successfully reach the goal. Agile methodologies are popular approaches in software development and are increasingly being used in other areas. Scrum practices include establishing cross-functional and self-managed teams, producing a working deliverable at the end of each iteration or Sprint.
This three-day Agile Scrum course is designed to illustrate this best practice project management approach and give candidates an understanding of Agile as it should be managed within projects. Within project environments there will always be times where there is uncertainty and high volumes of change, and these should be managed effectively. This course discusses the differences between traditional waterfall project methodologies and the Scrum approach, and what are the boundaries of a Scrum project.
This three day course leads to the Agile Scrum Foundation certification. During the course delegates will get the opportunity to prepare for the exam and utilise our extensive database of practice questions. This course will enable delegates to gain a foundational understanding of all the key parts of the Agile Scrum Methodology including:
- Introduction to Agile and Scrum
- Scrum practices
- Scrum planning
- Monitoring Scrum projects
- Advanced Scrum concepts
- Risk Specialisms
- Preparation for the examination
Although there is no mandatory requirement, ideally candidates should have at least two years professional experience working in Project Management. The Agile Scrum Foundation would suit candidates working in the following professions or areas:

This qualification is aimed at anyone working within a project management environment that has responsibilities for working within a project team or conducting project related activities across the organisation.
