Certified ScrumMaster®

Online training due to corona virus

Due to the situation with corona virus, we are delivering this training online. The course will still be facilitated in real-time by Brad Swanson using video conferencing and a powerful online platform for real-time remote collaboration. We have worked hard to create a virtual classroom experience that is engaging and interactive, just like our classroom experience - it goes far beyond boring slides and lectures! Participants will collaborate and learn together in real-time on a variety of activities.

As a bonus, you can expect to learn some great techniques for remote collaboration and activities that you can bring back to your teams! 

Unsure if you'll enjoy an online class? Give it a try, and if at the end you're not satisfied, we will offer you a free seat in any of our future in-person courses.  

The Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) course is an immersion into the ScrumMaster role with hands-on activities teaching how to build high-performing Agile teams and optimize your effectiveness using Scrum.

What our participants are saying:

“Awesome. Very engaging.”  -- Shavaughn Swain

“Course was very interactive and engaging. It was great having an instructor with such a breadth of knowledge and enthusiasm for Scrum/Agile with no hidden agendas or slant toward any software products. Brad's style is very approachable, informative, and was more like a coach helping us to learn by first providing the information, then using activities to help reinforce what we just learned. I would recommend this course and instructor to anyone.” – Mary Trotter
