EXCLUSIVE AGILE TOOLS

ScrumMaster Personal Improvement Tool

The ScrumMaster Personal Improvement (PI) Tool is an exclusive benefit to all active Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs). Designed by Comparative Agility with help from members of the global agile community, the PI Tool helps CSMs assess their strengths and identify opportunities for improvement. Certified ScrumMasters take regular assessments and receive a set of relevant resources that highlight key areas where they can improve. CSMs can choose relevant resources by adding the ones they want to track into their backlog of personal improvements. The system follows those areas of personalized progress over time, and allows ScrumMasters to monitor the chosen resources to improve their craft.
