Certified ScrumMaster

CSM and Introduction into Crystal

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.



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.

Course Goal for Attendees:

  • Understand what is agile and what isn't agile development
  • Have a gut feeling for teamwork, communication, frequent customer interaction and frequent delivery
  • Understand Scrum, the role of the ScrumMaster, and Crystal as tools in setting up and running project
  • Have a few techniques to take home and use immediately
  • Prepare for the Certified ScrumMaster examination
