What changes for your team

  • Turn stakeholder confusion into shared direction
  • Make your input count where it matters
  • Remove resistance before it slows delivery

Immersive training pays back differently to a two-day course. Sessions spread across several weeks mean each idea is applied in your real work before the next one lands — so capability builds instead of fading under a backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Scrum Fundamentals for Stakeholders is designed for anyone impacted by product development — users, customers, managers, sponsors, business analysts, operations, support staff, project managers, auditors, and subject matter experts. It’s not aimed at people looking for advanced Scrum practitioner or hands-on developer training; it’s focused on the stakeholder perspective.

No prior Scrum experience or qualifications are needed to take Scrum Fundamentals for Stakeholders. The course is built for those new to Scrum as well as organisations early or advanced in adoption.

You’ll tackle common stakeholder challenges like engaging with Scrum Teams, shaping the Product Backlog, clearing up myths about roles and processes, and redefining how you assess product success compared to traditional methods.

This course gives you live, guided practice with scenarios you actually face as a stakeholder, plus direct discussion with an expert and peers. You’ll get context-specific feedback and work through problems that generic resources can’t address.

Scrum Fundamentals for Stakeholders combines instructor presentations with discussions and team-based activities, so you’ll learn by doing, not just listening. The hands-on exercises are designed to immerse you in stakeholder scenarios and real Scrum events.
