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.

Course Description

This public workshop provides attendees with an overview of the Scrum methodology and practical advice on how to apply Scrum in software development teams. Through the use of interactive exercises, simulations, and discussion, you'll learn about Scrum basics such as managing the product backlog, planning the sprint, tracking and reporting progress through the use of burndown charts, and reviewing the sprint. You'll have the opportunity to share your experiences with your peers, and have your questions answered by an experienced ScrumMaster who made the transition from waterfall methodologies to agile approaches over eight years ago,  

This course is taught by a PMP certified instructor. PMPs may file for up to 14 PDUS under Continuing Certification Requirements’ “Category 4: Other Providers.”
