Scrum has been proven to deliver value to the end customer 30 to 40 percent faster than traditional methods. That is one reason Scrum Masters—the facilitators for an Agile Development team—are said to be among the 25 highest-paying jobs in the U.S., and are in high demand as organizations adopt Agile as standard practice.

Other than Scrum Master, learners can look forward to roles in tech where knowledge of Scrum is useful. These roles include Information Architect, QA Analyst, Project Manager, User Researcher, Content Strategy Lead, WordPress Developer, Customer Experience Analyst, and other functional team members that are critical to Agile success.

Agile courses offered through Coursera cover Scrum. They equip learners with knowledge in creating an actionable, adaptive plan for a digital product team; applying skills that enable an Agile team to succeed; understanding the Scrum framework; participating effectively in Agile processes; and more.

Lessons on Scrum and Agile are taught by instructors from major universities, including University of Virginia, University of Minnesota, University of Alberta, and other institutions. Learners can enjoy exploring Scrum and Agile with instructors specializing in Business, Science and Engineering, and other disciplines. Course content on Scrum is delivered via video lectures, hands-on projects, readings, quizzes, and other types of assignments.
