Certified Scrum Professional® - ScrumMaster

3BACK'S CERTIFIED Scrum Professional ScrumMaster TRAINING

HERE'S WHAT WE DO!

12 of those 16 hours are guided learning, where you will be working, reading, completing exercises, discussions, and so on. We guide you through 14 learning modules with great materials, discussions, and exercises. All of the Learning Objectives will be verified in 12 Contact hours while you are working through assignments that are reviewed. We facilitate this for you by review, by verifying you've completed each module before moving to the next one, and by having our admin available to you for questions.

4 of these 16 hours are Office Hours, where the Trainer does Coaching, Mentoring and Q&A based on the Students' questions and supports the LOs. In practice, the vast majority of this time is spent talking about work problems or misperceptions about agile and scrum.

We believe, and our reviews validate, that this structure provides a near-optimal learning experience for our Students.

3Back's Exclusive Companion Book

Organizations must adapt to improve and flourish in changing environments. The Scrum Mastering III book and course will strengthen your skills as an organizational change agent and prepare you to coach junior Scrum Leaders. For anyone who is new to the world of Scrum -- its foundations, its principles, its nuances -- there’s a lot to digest. You will discover that Scrum is lightweight, useful, and difficult to master. Once mastered, Scrum becomes an intuitive extension of how you approach work.

To help you master Scrum, our books are broken down into two groups. The Scrum Handbooks which describe the models of Single-Team Scrum and Multi-Team Scrum - what it is. And the Scrum Guidebooks, which describes guidance for implementation - how to apply. Both book groups will help you frame Scrum Effectively so that you can maximize your chances of success - especially in complex, ever-changing environments.

The Scrum Leadership Series is a core set of books and companion courses that, when combined with years of domain-driven experience, allow a person to be designated as a Recognized Scrum Leader.
