AGILE SCRUM OVERVIEW
The Agile approach has changed the face of software and product development and project management, and in recent years, has also increased demand for professionals with Agile knowledge, skills, and experience.
Scrum is one of the methodologies within Agile and is a must-know for IT practitioners, including those in IT service management and IT operations. Within Agile Scrum there are various roles that are required to execute this approach effectively.

It will also equip you with knowledge of the fundamental Product Owner accountabilities and responsibilities, as well as prepare you to effectively manage the product backlog.
