Course details
Course Description
This two-day course not only provides the fundamental principles of Scrum, it also gives participants hands-on experience using Scrum. This course puts theory into action through a variety of exercises. During the course, attendees will learn why such a seemingly simple process such as Scrum can have such profound effects on an organization. Participants gain practical experience working with Scrum tools and activities such as the product backlog, sprint backlog, daily Scrum meetings, sprint planning meeting, and burndown charts. Participants leave knowing how to apply Scrum to all sizes of projects, from a single collocated team to a large, highly distributed team.
Following successful completion of the course, each participant will be designated as Certified ScrumMaster. This certification includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional ScrumMaster-only material and information are available.
ScrumMaster Certification Exam Not Required
This course occurs before the new Scrum Alliance rules that require passing a sixty-question, computer-based test to become certified. If you attend this course, you will not need to take a test to become certified. For more information, see this page about the CSM exam.

Reviews
Very interactive session with a diverse group of cohorts.
Mitch was a great instructor and loved all the dad jokes.
Mike is a very personable and experienced trainer with great subject matter expertise.
Great team, great content
Appreciate the real world exercises applying these concepts.
Awesome teacher and class!
a fun interactive class to cover the principles needed for the CSM exam. highly recommend!
The set of videos was helpful to gear you up for the live class. The videos were informative and engaging. The instructor was funny, kept all attendees interactive and made it a great experience for everyone involved.
Mike's videos were very information and provided a ton of information. For a newbie with Scrum, I was able to follow and feel totally prepared for the Live sessions with Scott. Scott provided real world examples and was open to open discussions to help make the information relatable.
Scott was a great instructor.
