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.

Scrum teams maximise value to their customers and users through the regular and frequent delivery of valuable, high quality product features.  Scrum teams build a regular cadence of delivery in short time frames, typically between 1 and 4 weeks.  Achieving this is not easy!

The ScrumMaster plays a pivotal role in the Scrum team, ensuring that the team are effective in their use of Scrum, removing impediments and protecting the team from outside interruptions to allow them to focus on delivering great product.  The ScrumMaster also works across the organisation to promote awareness of how the team are working and to foster cross-funtional collaborative working.

The Certified ScrumMaster training course uses Scrum to teach Scrum and provides a stimulating, experiential learning experience through the use of game play, hands on practical exercises, real life case studies and in depth discussions of the various parts of the Scrum framework and how the parts fit together.  On completing the course, candidates are required to take a short exam after which, on passing, they will be designated Certified ScrumMasters.  Candidates will then also become members of the Scrum Alliance and can work towards the higher level Certified Scrum Professional designation.

Before attending this course, you are strongly urged to read The Agile Atlas at http://agileatlas.org/atlas/scrum which can also be downloaded in PDF format..

The Certified ScrumMaster training course will benefit anyone who may perform the role of ScrumMaster and will also benefit anyone who is going to coach Scrum team or help organisations transition to using Scrum.  The Certified ScrumMaster training course will also benefit anyone who is going to work in a Scrum team in any of the Scrum roles.
