About
UK Scrum Academy
We aim to empower students to change the world
The Agile approach to building digital services.
Our UK government is transforming the way government departments deliver digital services. Since 2012, all government departments have been required to use the Agile approach to project management, to build and run digital services.
As you start your own Agile journey, one of your first challenges will be understanding the rules and roles that support Agile delivery, for example: Which Agile framework is applicable to your business operating model, or is the Project Manager role equivalent to that of the Product Owner, and what does a Scrum Master do?
