Curriculum for CSM® Certification Training
1. Scrum Fundamentals
Get familiar with the 12 principles and 4 values stated in the Agile Manifesto through activities. How do you demonstrate the benefits of “responding to change” in Agile over “following a plan” in traditional project management? How do the Scrum values (courage, focus, commitment, respect, openness) relate to the Scrum artifacts, events, and roles? What is an Agile mindset? Why shouldn’t the terms, Agile and Scrum, be used interchangeably?
2. Scrum Roles and Responsibilities
Learn more about the three roles in Scrum with role-based activities. What is the primary role of the Product Owner? What is the ScrumMaster’s job, and how does that differ from a project manager? What is the role of management in Scrum? Who are the stakeholders and how do they interact with the team? Why is self-organization important?
3. Sprint Planning, Execution, Review, and Retrospectives
How do you decide what you commit to in a Sprint? What do you do if something comes up and the team can’t make its commitments? How do you make sure that the customer is being properly represented? What do you do to improve team processes? How should the entire Scrum team keep track of all the work items?
4. Agile Requirements Analysis
Determine what you are your building. What is a user story and how is it different from a traditional “requirement”? What is an epic? What makes a good user story? How do you decompose epics into stories? How do you make sure you get the right list of requirements? How can you deal with frequently changing requirements?
5. Estimating, Prioritizing Product Backlogs
Build a product backlog and learn how to manage it. What goes on the backlog? Who decides on the backlog priority? Who decides the order that the team does its tasks? Why is relative estimation important? What is velocity? How should ROI be calculated?
6. What Does “Done” Mean?
Produce a potentially shippable product. Why is the concept of “done” important and how is it different from traditional software development? Who decides if something is done? What are the components of a good definition of done? How do you divide large stories that are too big into stories that can be completed in a single Sprint? What are the consequences of a weak definition of done?
7. Core Competencies of a Scrum Master
What is servant leadership and how to develop this skill? What are the techniques of Facilitation and Coaching? How to resolve impediments? How to enable high team performance? How to lead and facilitate change?
8. Get the Certified ScrumMaster® Certification
Pass the certification examination. What is the Scrum Alliance Certification? What content is covered on the exam? What are the questions like? How should you prepare? What are the mechanics of the test? Are there good ways to increase your chances of passing? Can you take the test more than once?

Valerio is a terrific teacher. It's obvious he has spent many years practicing and coaching and his experience and teaching was very valuable to me. He intuitively knew a lot of the challenges we were facing in our SCRUM teams and provided examples and advice. His style is easy going and enjoyable and I felt fully engaged throughout the entire session. Can't recommend him highly enough for SCRUM training.
The course was very good. I enjoyed the content and instruction. I have sent multiple of my employees to this course and will continue too in the future.
The CSM proved to be very beneficial, and the instructor was outstanding, demonstrating exceptional knowledge and facilitating an easy-to-understand class.
Absolutely don't miss the opportunity to take a class with Valerio!
The course was engaging and informative.
Great training
Valerio Zanini was an outstanding trainer who excelled at coaching, facilitating, teaching, and mentoring.
I recently had the privilege of participating in Valerio Zanini's Certified ScrumMaster course, and I must say it was an exceptional learning experience from start to finish. Valerio's expertise, passion for Agile methodologies, and engaging teaching style made this course truly stand out. One of the most impressive aspects of Valerio's course was his ability to make complex concepts simple and accessible. He has a knack for breaking down Scrum principles, practices, and roles into digestible chunks, allowing participants to grasp and apply them with ease. His real-world examples and case studies brought the material to life, making it relevant and practical. Valerio's interactive teaching approach kept everyone engaged and encouraged active participation. He fostered a collaborative learning environment where questions were not just welcomed but encouraged. Valerio's willingness to share insights, answer queries, and facilitate discussions enriched the learning experience and ensured that every participant had a clear understanding of Scrum fundamentals. Furthermore, Valerio's commitment to excellence was evident throughout the course. He went above and beyond to ensure that all participants received personalized attention, guidance, and support. His dedication to helping us succeed as Certified Scrum Masters was truly commendable. I also appreciated the comprehensive nature of the course content. Valerio covered all aspects of Scrum in-depth, from the Scrum framework itself to practical techniques for effective Scrum implementation. He emphasized not just the "what" but also the "why" behind Scrum practices, empowering us to make informed decisions and drive meaningful change within our teams and organizations. In conclusion, Valerio Zanini's Certified ScrumMaster course exceeded my expectations in every way. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Agile principles, become a proficient Scrum Master, and take their career to new heights. Thank you, Valerio, for an outstanding learning journey!
