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.

In this 2-days course you will learn how to use Scrum to guide a team, a project, or an organization into a process of rapid delivery of valuable results. Exercises, case studies, and examples are used to assist you to develop the knowledge, skills, capabilities and insights needed to make the shift from traditional management practices to Scrum practices.

The specific learning objectives are the following:

• Scrum project management practices that enable hyper-productive projects;
• Scrum processes and facilitation tools that improve the productivity of the team;
• Scrum collaboration methods to remove the barriers between the team and the customer;
