Course

Use Scrum to Learn Scrum

CSM training is divided up into four Sprints in order to allow participants to fully immerse themselves in the Scrum framework. The learning modules for the course are listed in a Product Backlog which includes each Learning Objective (LO’s) established by the Scrum Alliance for this class. Throughout the class, students will be reviewing the LO’s and be asked to accept them if they feel that the topic is complete. This is our way of QA’ing each topic and making sure that the participants know we have met the class Learning Objectives. In addition to this, the class includes many topics and exercises which are not listed in the LO’s but are a big part of making sure that each participant leaves the class with tools and practices they can bring back to work and implement right away.

Dave Prior—Certified Scrum Trainer, leads the live online class, two-day learning experience. In addition to the Scrum Alliance covered material, Dave brings decades of experience to the class with thought provoking examples, discussion of real-world scenarios, interactive exercises as well as examples and stories about what happens when you step out of the classroom and practice Scrum “in the wild.”

By the end of the class you will be completely prepared to pass the CSM exam, not because you have memorized facts, but because you have internalized and practiced the concepts needed to successfully implement Scrum when you get back to work.

Who should attend

The ScrumMaster course is a great fit for anyone new to Scrum or who has been practicing it in the field and needs to reacquaint themselves with the Scrum framework. If you are coming from a traditional (waterfall) background, are skeptical about, or struggling with getting your head around Agile, this class is for you. With Dave’s experience transitioning from traditional project management to Agile, he takes special care to try and pave an easier way for the participants who are struggling to adopt Agile. That intent, coupled with the experience of all three of our trainers in helping others make the journey into a new way of approaching work provide the framework in which we approach the topic of how to succeed as a Scrum Master.

Dave explained everything thoroughly and now I have a solid understanding of my role and how I can apply everything to my day to day. Takes the time to answer any and all questions.

Very animated, knowledgeable and experienced. Loved the real-life stories he wove into the course material and his ability to explain concepts in various ways.

Brings everything into how it works in real life. It was good to see how there are so many different situations and how he went and solved them.

I highly recommend taking a CSM course with Dave Prior! He’s an exceptional instructor whose mastery of Agile frameworks, engaging storytelling, and practical, solutions-focused approach make complex concepts easy to grasp and apply. His energy, insight, and real-world experience create an outstanding learning experience that truly sets him apart.

Satisfactory

Very well organized and a great balance of structured learning and engaging, interactive opportunities.

The Instructor made the course engaging and interactive- Highly recommend!

Dave was absolutely incredible! He is knowledgeable and has so much context and experience that enhance the learning.

Dave did a fantastic job keeping us focused and on point. He taught the class in an accessible and comedic manner that worked well for a Scrum neophyte like myself, and would love to take another course taught by him. Well done Dave!
