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.

Description

Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. Rather than plan, instruct and direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and leads. This person is called a ScrumMaster in the Scrum agile process to denote the difference and remind the person filling this role of the new responsibilities. Accepted participants learn how to be a ScrumMaster and how to make a development team, a project, or an organization agile. Exercises, case studies, and examples used to bring home the realization of how to be a ScrumMaster instead of a project manager.

In this workshop you will learn to:

• Remove the barriers between development and the customer so the customer directly drives development;
• Teach the customer how to maximize ROI and meet their objectives through Scrum;
• Improve the lives of the development team by facilitating creativity and empowerment;
• Improve the productivity of the development team in any way possible; and,
• Improve the engineering practices and tools so each increment of functionality is potentially shippable

Certified Scrum Trainer Jim York engages the participants with a highly interactive approach that gives participants hands-on practice applying Scrum in multiple project settings and situations. This course equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and tools to successfully implement Scrum as ScrumMasters.

As a result of their successful completion of the program, each participant received an individual license and copy of the Scrum methodology, Scrum training materials, and Scrum software. In addition, Certified ScrumMasters receive a complimentary 1-year membership in the Scrum Alliance and are listed as certified ScrumMasters on the Scrum Alliance website.
