About Our Virtual CSM Workshop

To keep you safe and healthy during the COVID-19 global pandemic, we've adapted our in-person workshop so we can bring it to you virtually instead. We've carefully converted our classroom activities while maintaining their interactive nature to keep the class engaging and combat the Zoom fatigue we're all becoming familiar with. Here's what you can expect from our online classes:

Real-time, instructor led workshops. This is not a video of an instructor delivering a lecture to a camera. All classes occur in real time, at the right pace for the students in the class, responding to your questions and what is happening in the group.

Interactive student collaboration. Technology has developed to the extent that we can get great interactive collaboration between classmates in our digital "classroom". Two of the main tools we use are Zoom, with breakout sessions, and Miro, a real time digital white board. 

Redesigned virtual activities. All our classroom activities have been re-worked to fit a virtual format while continuing to make the information "sticky" through collaborative exercises related to the material you are learning. Using Zoom breakout rooms, you'll leverage the learning of other class members as well as class facilitators.

Using Scrum to teach Scrum. Even in our virtual format, we continue to use Scrum to teach Scrum. The class activities build upon each other both in the knowledge of the material and the execution of our practicum where students build an actual product using Scrum.

Setting you up for success. When you sign up for an Applied Scrum class, you'll receive a welcome email in advance of your workshop. You welcome email will contain links to videos for class pre-work to help ensure an understanding of the fundamental concepts, as well as a Miro board link so you can get familiar with collaborating via digital technology.

Tamara's Tips and Techniques. A well-loved and valuable staple from our in-person classes, Tamara's Tips and Techniques provides information and practices that are gleaned from my real life experiences with Agile and Scrum over the last 15+ years as a practitioner, coach, and trainer. 

Applied Scrum Coaching Huddle. As an Applied Scrum alumni, you'll be invited to our Scrum Huddle, a monthly informal gathering over Zoom. The Huddle provides an opportunity to receive expert advice, peer support, networking, and more. Not to mention, the ability to earn SEUs and/or PDUs for every Huddle you attend.​

Learn Real Skills, Not Just Theory

Experience a class unlike any other! Applied Scrum's 4 half-day CSM course is a fun, fast-paced, and interactive class that encourages learning by doing. Utilizing a unique format of group activities punctuated by short, focused lectures, this class is designed with the adult learner in mind to help you understand the basics of Scrum and provide you with practical tools for applying Scrum in the real world, all while having a fun and interactive time!

An important component of our course is incorporating the wide-ranging knowledge and experience of you and your classmates. Our aim is to make Scrum applicable to your day-to-day, instead of simply teaching you the vocabulary necessary to pass the exam. So expect a healthy amount of peer-to-peer conversation where you can make those connections!

You'll leave the class equipped with the knowledge and skills required to facilitate Scrum with your teams and begin the process of transforming your organization.
