The foundation for successful project work.

Agile project management is currently a widely discussed topic. Scrum is the leading methodology in this field and is already extensively used in software development. Hardware development is following suit, and more and more manufacturing companies are adopting this framework—either in its pure form or as a hybrid combined with traditional project management approaches.
The goal of this workshop is to familiarize participants with the Scrum method, helping them understand and apply it. Starting from the fundamental principles and values of agility, all relevant elements of Scrum—including flow, roles, and artifacts—are not only conveyed theoretically but also applied through simulations, exercises, and a continuous case study.
Additionally, the seminar highlights the differences between traditional and agile project approaches, enabling participants to assess which approach is suitable for different project types.
Agile tools such as time boxing, Kanban, and Lean Coffee are also employed to illustrate the underlying agile values and further enhance understanding of the Scrum framework.
