Certified ScrumMaster
Sorry, This Course is Sold Out
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, real world case study examples and discussions to provide everything that you need to know in order to deliver a successful Scrum Project.
Participants who complete the course successfully will be designated Certified ScrumMaster (CSM), and this is the first step to becoming a Certified Scrum Practitioner (CSP). This certification includes a two-year membership of the Scrum Alliance.
