Certified ScrumMaster

SolutionsIQ - Certified ScrumMaster Training

All CSM courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSM course and the corresponding evaluation designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to 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.

This two-day ScrumMaster certification course provides everything you need to get started with Scrum and Agile.  One of the largest and fastest-growing agile project management methodologies, Scrum is a simple software management technique that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules, in not overly prescriptive and is able to produce productivity gains for software development teams almost immediately.

Delivered by SolutionsIQ Agile thought leaders, this course shares time-tested practices for managing product backlogs, planning your releases and iterations (Sprints) and tracking and reporting progress. You'll learn how to plan and run Sprint Planning Meetings, daily Scrum Meetings, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Retrospectives and more!

On completion, participants are registered as Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs), which includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, (www.scrumalliance.org) where valuable ScrumMaster-material and information are available exclusively to CSMs.
