Rapid changes in technology, market demands, and expectations have paved the way for the understanding and implementation of Agile methods and values in many organizations. Agile relies on adaptive planning and iterative development and delivery. It focuses primarily on the value of people in getting the job done effectively. SAMC™ Certified Professionals appreciate the concepts of Agile development and have the ability to compare and choose the Agile methodology appropriate in a given situation.
Applicants will be awarded the SCRUMstudy Agile Master Certified (SAMC™) certificate by SCRUMstudy™ after successfully passing the certification exam.
