Learn the essentials of working as a ScrumMaster or Scrum team member in this course. While the Scrum Alliance provides a list of core concepts that must be covered in the class, each instructor creates his or her own material, allowing courses to differ based on the strengths, interests, and experiences of the instructor.

This is a CSM PLUS course (3 days). 

The standard, basic Certified ScrumMaster Course32107 is two days; this CSM PLUS is a three-day in-depth seminar on the art of serving as an effective ScrumMaster, and on the Scrum method. In addition to all standard CSM content, you will learn -- through hands-on practice – more key concepts and skills in Scrum and agile methods, including Large-Scale Scrum, how to do agile estimation, how to facilitate a Scrum Retrospective, how to coach a Sprint Review, and more.
