2 Day Course – This course results in a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) designation from the Scrum Alliance.

Expand beyond classic product/project paradigms and learn why agile/scrum works. Understand Scrum • Use Agile Metrics and Reports • Apply Adaptive Planning

This course is suited for people who have experience being on development teams or are faced with complex product/project development efforts. Individuals from all levels of the corporate structure who deal with rapidly changing demands and complex efforts. Managers, Testers, PM, Analysts, Developers, managers, directors, C-level functions. Participants should have some familiarity with Agile, either by attending the Introduction to Agile Methods training course, or through practical Agile experience.

Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. Rather than plan, instruct and direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and leads. In the agile framework known as Scrum, this person is called a ScrumMaster, to denote the difference and remind the person filling this role of their new responsibilities. Accepted course participants learn how to be a ScrumMaster and how to make a development team, a project, or an organization agile. The ScrumMaster is responsible for the proper execution of the Scrum framework, and manages the resulting changes within the organization.

Exercises, case studies, simulations and experiences are used throughout the course to bring home the realization of how Scrum can work. We will also demonstrate how the roles of ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Team form a critical tripod for effective agile development. All participants are expected to understand Scrum basics prior to attending this course.
