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.


(הקורס ינתן בעברית תוך דגש על הניסיון הנרכש שלי עם חברות ישראליות בהטמעת סקראם)

This is an interactive course (workshop) with a LOT of exercises being held during the class. The goal of this course is not only to cover all the topics, but to change your mindset as well as give you a good feel of Scrum's enormous benefits.
Upon successful completion of the course, you will be certified as a Scrum Master and gain the basic knowledge and understanding of Scrum and the way it can be applied in YOUR world (future projects).
In addition, you will receive a one year membership to the Scrum.

By the end of the course you will be…:

•    …getting the SCRUM spark
•    …speaking SCRUMish
•    …able to have fun at your workplace as well as understand the importance of it
•    …learning unique planning techniques
•    …forgetting your fear from a change
•    …achieving more on your future projects
•    …losing interest in Command & Control
•    ...gaining full visibility on your future projects
•    …frequently called to help others
•    …thinking “It is so obvious, why didn’t I think of it?”
•    …going home with a big smile…:-)

Being a certified Scrum master (CSM) is the beginning of a journey. While each and every course of mine is based on the same material, each course has its own unique dynamic and sparks. Due to the fact that this is an interaction course, what you put into it is what you get out of it.

Here are the topics being covered

•    The history of Agile
•    Your project pains
•    Scrum introduction
•    Change management in Scrum
•    Planning and estimation
•    User stories – the right way to write them
•    Roles & Responsibilities
•    A day in the life of a Scrum master
•    Building self maintained, cross-functional teams
•    Ceremonies
•    Definition of Done
•    Artifacts
•    Assimilation of Scrum in a wide variety of environments
•    Scaling scrum
•    Negotiating skills and techniques
•    The manager's role in scrum


During the course we create a parking lot in order to ensure that each and every raised issue is being covered. There are a LOT of simulation and exercises in which we are practicing day to day challenges that can occur since the first day implementation begins (sometimes the day after the course!).

Since Scrum is implemented using Scrum, the course is implemented in Scrum as well so at the end of each day we are practicing retrospective (you may call it "lesson learned" but while the main goal is about the same, there is a huge difference between the two and the way they are performed), and implement it on the very next day to ensure it best fits the specific audience!
Throughout the course there is time for questions and answers as well as a dedicated time at the end of the course to ensure no question is left unanswered.
