This course is a two-day Certified Scrum Master Training facilitated by Catherine Louis of Cary, NC. This course will be held virtually.
In our interactive Scrum Master Certification course, you will learn the Scrum framework, how to apply Scrum to your projects, and how to navigate the cultural changes necessary to implement Scrum. There will also be a focus on being a scrummaster while working remotely. During the two day course, taught by a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST™), you will earn 14 PDUs and become a Certified Scrum Master through the Scrum Alliance.
In this course, participants will learn how to start executing along with everything necessary for getting started with Scrum. There are very few rules to Scrum so it is important to learn its fundamental principles by experiencing them directly from those who have implemented the best Scrums in the software industry. Participants gain hands-on practice with the release backlog, sprint backlog, the daily Scrum meeting, tracking progress with a burndown charts, Scrum boards, and more. Participants experience the Scrum process through a series of hands on exercises, ranging from Visioning through to Sprint Planning.
Through a combination of immersive team-based learning, exercises, and real-world case studies, you will learn:
- To plan, initiate and lead a Scrum project
- To establish a shared vision for the entire team
- To generate an Agile release plan using story maps and story point sizing
- To lead your Scrum team through planning, review, and retrospective sessions
- To create an environment in which self-managing teams can flourish
- To identify and remove impediments
- To identify, engage and involve business stakeholders in your project
- How to take most existing teams to the next level
- Practical suggestions from the school of hard knocks
Scrum Master training provides an applied understanding of the Scrum process and helps participants begin to develop the tools, insights, and skills requried to apply Scrum on their projects and across their organizations.

After the Scrum Training Workshop:
After taking the 2-day Certified ScrumMaster course, students are eligible to take the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) Assessment Exam through the Scrum Alliance. The CSM test contains 50 multiple-choice questions . It’s based on the CSM Learning Objectives, Scrum Guide, and perhaps 2 questions on the Agile Manifesto and Principles. Students will have one hour to complete it. The passing score is 74%. You will not be able to pause the test, but questions can be bookmarked to answer later during the 60 minute time limit.
If you need PDU's for the PMI or other continuing education credits, we'll work with you to make sure you get them applied appropriately.
Over time, we will keep in touch. I'll give you advice along the way and you'll have access to me after the training is completed. You will have access to your trainer after the training - we want you to succeed!
