Certified ScrumMaster

All CSM courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSM course, passing the CSM test, and accepting the license agreement designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to and understand the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.

Trainers

This specific class is taught by: Bas Vodde and Jens Oestergaard. Bas and Jens were trained by Ken Schwaber, one of the co-developers of the Scrum process. Jens is one of Europe's first Scrum trainers and has been training Scrum for the last years. Bas has been working on the largest corporate Scrum transformation and is currently writing a book on "Large-scale lean and agile development"

Training Methodology

We will use a lot of exercises during the class to make Scrum teachable. After the training you will not only understand Scrum, but you feel the difference. This training will give you the feeling of Scrum itself.

The first day is dedicated to the Why and the Philosophy of the Meaning of Scrum. During the second day we cover the tools and the How of Scrum. Using anecdotes and experiences, we teach the Scrum methodology and how to apply it to be an effective ScrumMaster.

Agenda

This course will start at 9:00 and end at 18:00, both days. The course will cover a range of topics:

Graduation

Upon graduation, the result of a successful completion of the training, each participant receives an individual license and a copy of the Scrum methodology, Scrum training materials and Scrum software. In addition, Certified ScrumMasters are authorized to participate in “open” development of the Scrum methodology and software, ensuring a growing body of knowledge from a qualified, competent group of certified professionals. Successfully trained participants are also listed as Certified Scrum Masters at www.ScrumAlliance.org.

Course Material

All materials, methodology and training materials will be made available for you during the training. An individual license to use these materials will be issued to the participants who successfully complete the certification program.
