Certified Scrum Master

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.

This Course employs practical exercises, Case Studies and discussions to provide everything that a ScrumMaster needs to know to be able to facilitate a successful Scrum Project.

Participants who complete the course successfully will be designated Certified ScrumMaster (CSM).This Certification includes membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional materials and information is available exclusively to CSM’s.
