    question: Who is this course for — and who is it NOT for?
    answer: "Delivering Products with Visual Studio & Scrum is designed for anyone involved in software delivery: Product Owners, Scrum Masters, developers, testers, architects, business analysts, team leads, and managers. If you aren't working with software projects, or aren't interested in practical Scrum and Visual Studio tools, this course likely isn't a fit."
