Agenda

The Certified Scrum Master (CSM) training course is a two-day program that focuses on providing participants with a comprehensive understanding of Agile and the Scrum framework. The course covers various topics ranging from the need for organisations to adopt Agile practices to practical applications through case studies and simulations.

The training begins by exploring the reasons why organisations should embrace Agile and the fundamental concepts of being and doing Agile. Participants engage in an agile game to gain hands-on experience and reinforce their learning. The origins of the Scrum framework are discussed, along with a Scrum case study that offers valuable lessons. Additionally, a case study from within the class is shared to further illustrate the practical applications of Scrum.

The course delves into the roles within a Scrum team, emphasising how these roles collaborate and outlining their respective responsibilities. It also touches on the impact of technical debt on Scrum implementation. The training goes beyond the Scrum team and explores other roles, such as project managers and line managers, within the context of Agile organisations. Organisational impediments are addressed, and case studies of Agile organisations are analysed to provide valuable insights.

Managing and refining the product backlog is covered, including techniques for writing user stories and estimating effort. The concept of working in Sprints is introduced, highlighting the reasons behind this approach and how Sprints operate. The contents of a Sprint and the importance of defining the Definition of Done are also discussed.

The course introduces Scrum events and includes a simulation to provide participants with a practical understanding of conducting Sprint planning, Sprint reviews, and Sprint retrospectives. Participants gain hands-on experience through the simulation and learn how to run effective Daily Scrums.

Overall, the Certified Scrum Master training course equips participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement Agile practices and effectively utilise the Scrum framework in their organizations.
