This document provides an agenda and slides for a course on Applied Scrum for Project Management. The first week covers agile basics like the agile manifesto and sprint process. It then provides evidence that agile works through case studies of NASA's Skunkworks program, a Navy energy program, and how agile helped scale Netflix. The document also discusses the evolution of agile from total quality management, lean production systems, and the theory of constraints in response to high failure rates of waterfall projects. Week 1 concludes with a case study of how the government organization 18F used agile to modernize California's child welfare system.
