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.

Objectives

This hands-on, interactive class enables the course delegates to apply Scrum effectively:

• Assume the responsibilities of a ScrumMaster
• Remove the barriers between development and the customer so that the customer/Product Owner directly drives development
• Improve employee satisfaction
• Improve the engineering practices and tools so each increment of functionality is potentially shippable

Additionally, upon successful completion of the course, each participant is enrolled as a Certified ScrumMaster, which includes a one-year Scrum Alliance membership, where additional ScrumMaster-only material and information is available.

Audience

Project managers, team leads, and IT/development managers interested in successfully introducing Scrum into their organizations, as well as, product managers, business analysts, architects and developers interested in applying Scrum.
