Course

Our CSM and CSPO classes assume the student has a basic knowledge of Scrum. If you are concerned, view the Scrum Alliance Foundations videos here.

We use guided exercises in short 15-minute or less periods where students interact after working with explicit and clear guidance, followed quickly by discussion with your instructor. We also use exercises and questions to help students grasp the learning objectives and outcomes required for your foundational course.

SCRUM GUIDEBOOK: SCRUM STUDY GUIDE CSM TEST PREP

The Scrum Study Guide is included as a free gift to help you pass the Certified ScrumMaster Exam, and to help you distinguish between Agile concepts in theory and Agile concepts in the real world so that you can gain a mastery of practice and apply it successfully to your workplace needs.

SCRUM MASTERING I: FACILITATING IMPROVEMENT

There are two collaborative games that Scrum Teams play, the production game and the improvement game. The Scrum Mastering I book and companion course will help you begin your journey of facilitating improvement of your teams. For anyone new to the world of Scrum -- its foundations, its principles, its nuances -- there’s a lot to digest. You will discover that Scrum is lightweight, useful, and difficult to master. Once mastered, Scrum becomes an intuitive extension of how you approach work.

To help you master Scrum, our books are broken down into two groups. The Scrum Handbooks which describe the models of Single-Team Scrum and Multi-Team Scrum - what it is. And the Scrum Guidebooks, which describes guidance for implementation - how to apply. Both book groups will help you frame Scrum Effectively so that you can maximize your chances of success - especially in complex, ever-changing environments.

The Scrum Leadership Series is a core set of books and companion courses that, when combined with years of domain-driven experience, allow a person to be designated as a Recognized Scrum Leader.
