Certified ScrumMaster

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.

As Line Manager, Project Manager, Developer, Tester, Product Manager, Business Analyst or Consultant, you have heard about the advantages of Scrum. Maybe you are skeptical about the claims and hype around Scrum and Agile software development and want to find out more. Maybe you have decided to take the plunge and start your first agile project. Maybe you have started doing Scrum, but it's not working as expected. You want to get better at executing projects. You want to find out more. How does Scrum work? How is agile development different than the classical approach? How do you get started? How do you estimate work? How do you plan a Sprint? What changes can you expect when you do Scrum? This course provides you with the answers to your questions and gives you an intense, hands-on look at Scrum, so you know how to move forwards. After taking this course, you should:

• Understand in your head how Scrum works
• Feel in your gut why Scrum works
• Know in your hands how to do Scrum.

In short, you should be able to start your first Scrum project, improve your performance in an existing Scrum project and answer important questions about whether Scrum is appropriate for your organization. And you qualify to become a Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster (online test required). This course is organized in co-operation between Agilní Konsorcium and Aguarra. Subscriptions sent us to: Ing.
