Our Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster offering builds on the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster course to tackle the organisational system beyond the Scrum Team. Achieving the CSP-SM accreditation requires demonstration of ability to work effectively outside of a Scrum Team as well as a broad toolset of techniques and knowledge of when to apply what.

Some of the learning objectives require application of techniques in a context that cannot be readily simulated in a classroom environment. Our programme requires participants to demonstrate such techniques in their workplace.

Our CSP-SM is not just a two day in-person training. In addition to two intensive in-person training days, it provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to apply techniques in your workplace and learn from the varied ways that others in a small cohort approach the same assignment.

Think of CSP-SM as at least 5 days worth of personal development including the following.

  1. Pre-course orientation group call – approx. 45 mins
  2. Pre-training coursework and study – approx. 1 day equivalent
  3. In-person training – 2 days
  4. Preparation of post-course assignments – approx. 1 day equivalent
  5. Presenting your post-course assignments and viewing presentations by members of your cohort group – approx. 1 day equivalent over 5 x 90 minute calls

A full outline of the post-course assignments in addition to the pre-course work is distributed to participants upon enrolment. Assignment work may be undertaking prior to the in-person training as well as post-training.

Inclusions

  • Two full days training with a Certified Scrum Trainer® and Path to CSP Educator.

  • Full catering during the course including morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
