No Death By PowerPoint! - Learn Scrum By Doing Scrum

Not all Certified ScrumMaster courses are created equal. With Agile Learning Labs, you will participate in project simulations and game-based learning exercises, so you can learn by doing.

Agile Learning Labs is famous for its unique style of teaching through innovative games and simulations--in fact, the entire class is run using the tools and techniques you'll be studying, so you'll have completed an actual scrum project by the time you graduate. You'll also come away with a list of "Aha!" moments as long as your arm, all of which will be things you discovered yourself, while actually doing scrum.

Every student will receive a copy of Chris Sims' book, The Elements of Scrum, which is used as a textbook in colleges and by other scrum trainers. You can read the first chapter, A Week In The Life of a Scrum Team online, or check out the five-star reviews on Amazon.

 

Students Say:

The course was excellent, engaging, and entertaining. The training materials were valuable during learning and will be excellent references for the future. I enjoyed that the learning was engaging and modeled situations you encounter in your typical project lifecycle. Chris was magnificent. Thank you for making the course content relatable, as well as your patience and guidance.
Jessica Rivera
Scrum Master

 

Chris' attitude and amazing aptitude for training were infectious, they have an incredible way of bringing together strangers in easy, small ways that I really appreciated. Chris has mastered the art of zoom training! Having Season join during the actual sprint simulation was a great extra piece of energy and way to tackle the materials.

SEO Manager, Splunk

 

My organization has sent colleagues through this course before and they have all rated it as highly as I have: 5 out of 5. The number of short breaks and the diversity of games, breakouts and tasks kept things fresh and interesting.
Mike Madelin
HR Operations Senior Program Manager, Equinix

 

If you're new to scrum or need certification, I definitely recommend this course! I really liked the practical sessions since learning the theory is quite easy but getting actual experience is quite hard. It was both practical and fun.
Joshua Goncalves
C++ Software Engineer, Dolby Laboratories
