What Scrum is about
Scrum is the follow-up to Agile. Louise already knows what the agile philosophy is about; now she has to learn how to make it happen. Her clothing company, G&L, must pivot its business strategy to retake its place atop the market and hang on to the last line of credit keeping it afloat.
The plan: implement the Scrum framework within the company. That means Scrum teams with clear roles, artifacts to manage the product, and sprints and events that set the pace.
In the game you practice each piece of Scrum in realistic simulators, in a safe, stress-free environment, and get personalized feedback on your areas for improvement.
