Course details
This live, instructor-led, online workshop is designed to help you understand the Agile mindset so you can better implement the Scrum framework!
Why take this CSM course?
Because, when it comes to Agile, mindset (how you think) matters more than practices (what you do).
And that means you want a world-class training environment and a top-quality experience from an exceptional instructor. One that helps you get into the Agile frame of mind so you can stop working harder and start working more effectively to deal with the challenging issues you face every day. After all, processes and tools can get you only so far.
Now’s the time to ask yourself the tough questions:
- Am I satisfied to cobble together activities that seem like Scrum or am I ready to get serious about using the real thing?
- Am I ready to truly understand Agile—to put "whys before hows," and learn the underlying principles and values that drive success before getting into successful practices—or am I satisfied to just do Agile?
- Am I ready to hold real conversations with my managers and executives or am I satisfied to stick with superficial interactions?
- Am I ready to start measuring value delivered and stop measuring work output?
- Am I ready for a one-of-a-kind training experience that instills the confidence to engage successfully in Agile practices as soon as I get back to my team or am I satisfied to stick with the typical Agile training session?
The best ScrumMasters know they need the kind of training that provides actionable knowledge and skills. And you’ll join their ranks when you choose Agile For All’s two-day Certified ScrumMaster® workshop.

What Participants Say
“I expected to get a ‘pre-recorded’ and ‘scripted’ class. Instead, I got a collaborative experience, which was worlds better than the typical trainings I’ve sat through.”
“Very practical and helpful information. It actually applies to more than just in the workforce. This class was very interactive, which helped our team significantly in learning and applying the material.”
“Learned agile by doing it—very cool!”
"Bob's way of teaching was fantastic. He was able to make things as simple as possible."
SIGN UP FOR THIS CERTIFIED SCRUMMASTER® (CSM) CLASS
You can purchase a physical workbook if you live in the US and sign up at least 2 days before the start of the course. This option is highly recommended because it enhances the learning experience. Taking notes on printed pages that can get lost, or worse yet, on a PDF file, is just not as nice as having a spiral bound, full-color high quality workbook which you can reference over and over again.
Course Topics & Learning Objectives
Take advantage of our industry experience and immerse yourself in the major skillsets and practices you need to succeed as a Certified ScrumMaster. Throughout this CSM course, you’ll:
- Develop an Agile mindset and learn to think in an Agile way—based on the Agile Manifesto and augmented with Lean disciplines and Scrum values
- See the benefit of measuring work outcome—not work output—and ensure you focus on the Agile triangle of building the right thing, building it the right way, and building it efficiently

- Explain the seven Lean Disciplines and how they impact organizational agility

GREAT! course and Instructor. Pre-work prepared me for day 1 and set high expectations to the additional content that I would learn. Bob is very knowledgeable and a great instructor, I can truly say I'm walking away confident that I will pass my certification based on this course.
The class is very informative and engaging. For a 6 hour day sitting in front of a computer, there was never a dull moment.
Bob is a joy to learn from. He loves what he does and he makes the class fun and exciting. He doesn't teach straight from the Scrum guide. The classes are interactive and you gain insight into how other companies are using Agile methodologies. I would highly recommend his class to others.
Incredible course. Experienced teacher. Cant recommend enough!
I would recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn more about implementing scrum and agile into your team or the entire company.
Agile Bob is an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging facilitator! Highly recommended if you want to learn from an expert who also knows how to keep class engaging from beginning to end.
Thank you, Bob. Your approach to teaching, the anecdotes you add and the material you've created to cover this course are outstanding. You can expect more people from Moser to take classes specifically from you.
Bob is a Scrum expert and a great instructor. He has well prepared teaching materials and workbook which explain the core concepts in great depth. His teaching is engaging and interactive, and provides great insights based on his vast experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn Scrum and agile methodology!
Wonderful class with a ton of information. Bob was respectful and knowledgeable. It was so helpful learning how to apply the principles of scrum and agile in the real world. The information learned in this class is highly valuable if you are looking to be a better leader in any field of work. Bob gives great tips and wonderful insight on how to be better and achieve better. Highly recommended.
Well worth it, after the class I am filled with ideas on how to change my teams and looking forward to getting back to work and digging in.
