Certified ScrumMaster

All CSM courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSM course, passing the CSM test, and accepting the license agreement designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to and understand the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.

The Certified ScrumMaster Course is a 2-day course. It introduces the concepts of Agile project leadership using the Scrum methodology.  Successful participants will become Certified ScrumMasters, a first step in the journey towards this more adaptive form of project leadership.  Through this CSM training course, students will learn how to plan and run Sprint Planning Meetings, daily Scrum Meetings, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Retrospectives and more.  Successful participants will be listed as Certified ScrumMasters on the Scrum Alliance website and will receive a one year membership to the Scrum Alliance.

This course will max at 40 people.  As of 14-FEB08, 20 people are confirmed.

The course format consists of multiple lecture topics, group exercises and group discussion.  Ample time will be devoted to analysis of the “real-world” industry experiences of the ScrumMaster Course instructor based on case study examples and his experience managing Agile projects and coaching Scrum teams.
