About this course

Course overview

Day 3 of 5 toward the E²P certification.

The engine. Master the Agile mindset and the frameworks that translate it into actual delivery — Scrum roles, Kanban flow, user stories, backlog refinement, and velocity. Built for practitioners who need their teams to ship better cadence on Monday, not to pass a certification quiz.

Standalone or part of the full E²P certification.

Learning outcomes

What you'll learn

Every module is tied to an outcome you can bring back to your team the next day.

  • Run a Scrum cadence that actually produces outcomes, not ceremonies
  • Write user stories that survive contact with the backlog
  • Refine and prioritize a backlog under conflicting stakeholder pressure
  • Use velocity and cycle time honestly — as a forecasting aid, not a KPI
