Scrum.org and edForce partner to Impact Indian IT with Agile Skilling

Massachusetts, USA / Bengaluru :  Scrum.org, located in Massachusetts, USA, is the undisputed world leader in Agile training and certifications. They have just formed a strategic alliance with edForce, a workforce upskilling accelerator based in Bengaluru, India. This groundbreaking partnership will have to revolutionise the upskilling and reskilling of workers in India’s IT sector by providing them with access to innovative Agile learning solutions and the tools they need to perform at the highest levels in Agile project delivery.

Over 5 million people are employed by India’s IT sector, which is worth $150 billion and spends an astounding $3 billion yearly on employee upskilling. Scrum.org is poised to have a significant effect in the industry thanks to this fruitful collaboration, as it will now be able to provide Agile training that is in line with global standards and best practises.

Scrum.org is able to use edForce’s substantial presence and knowledge of the Indian market, while edForce receives access to Scrum.org’s high-quality material, courses, and highly regarded network of Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs). Together, they will push for widespread adoption of Agile approaches in India’s IT sector and guarantee the constant supply of high-quality Scrum training.

“Inconsistent teaching of the Scrum Framework often hampers Scrum teams from grasping essential concepts when learning from different sources,” said Dave West, CEO of Scrum.org, to emphasise the need of consistent Scrum training. Being a part of the Professional Training Network (PTN) shows that edForce is dedicated to providing the best Scrum training possible.

Ravi Kaklasaria, Co-Founder and CEO of edForce, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Partnering with Scrum.org, a global leader in the Agile community, is a game-changer for edForce. This collaboration empowers us to provide our clients with exceptional Scrum training delivered by highly experienced Professional Scrum Trainers. We are committed to delivering consistent, high-quality training experiences that enable professionals and organizations to thrive in Agile environments.”

edForce will incorporate Scrum.org’s comprehensive courses into its portfolio, offering clients a wide range of training programs, including preparation for the industry-recognized Professional Scrum certification. Each Scrum.org course includes an assessment attempt, and participants who score 85% or better receive certification, bolstering their career prospects and industry recognition.

This partnership between Scrum.org and edForce comes at a pivotal time when Agile methodologies are gaining rapid traction in the IT industry. By combining edForce’s training expertise and Scrum.org’s globally recognized methodologies, this collaboration is set to revolutionize Agile adoption, driving innovation and business success in organizations across India.
