Course details
“Great facilitating instructor, with a course all about facilitation. The course with Jimi Fosdick was overall 5 stars. This is the second scrum course I took with Fearless Agility, the first of which was the Certified Scrum Product Owner. I really enjoyed not having to go through slides, and instead getting high level overviews, discussions and bullets about the background of Scrum on the first day and the second day, getting to do practice excercises simulating a scrum environment and creating a product in a Sprint. Jimi is also super helpful to answer all your questions and he keeps things entertaining.” — Wael Nanne (CSM Virtual Participant, March 2024, CSPO Virtual Participant, February 2024) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Fearless Agility Virtual Certified Scrum Master Workshop is a 2-Day fun introduction to the principles, practices, values, and mechanics of Scrum. Jimi guides people through a learning journey with interactive group games, storytelling, and collaboration to become effective members of a Scrum Team. This virtual workshop is appropriate for anyone pivoting career paths and beginning to learn about Scrum, Team Members, Business Analysts, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and other who works closely with Scrum Teams.
Jimi's workshops are a safe space for neurodivergent learners.

Why choose Fearless Agility?
Nobody ever learned anything useful by looking at slides while some "expert" droned on and on. So we ditch the PowerPoint, roll up our sleeves, and get participants working using a proven high-energy activity-based approach that has helped thousands worldwide earn their certification while taking useful practical skills back to work. This is real world knowledge and experience from someone who has lived in the Agile trenches for 20 years. It goes beyond the classroom theory that just anyone can provide to high-impact content with everything you need and nothing you don't.
But don't take our word for it... READ OUR RAVES.
