Course

A lively, focused and interactive program of learning.

Philosophy

This Certified Scrum Master (CSM) workshop is centered on the belief that Scrum is a radically different way of working, and not some kind of superficial reframe of work-as-usual. Focusing on the principles beneath the framework and process, reaching into your own personal value system to draw out meaning, this workshop will have you challenge how you show up for work, and what you believe it means to "do Scrum".

Format

Using the Scrum Guide as a springboard the essence of Scrum will be explored through lecture, interactive dialog and a process of creative making. This is a multi-way learning experience. Be prepared to engage with your fellow learners as both co-teacher and co-student. This three-morning workshop is structured as follows.

Day 1: Structure & Flow
The why, what and how of Scrum: definition, theory, framework, events & artefacts.
Day 2: Relationships
The Scrum team, values and the wider organisation; the unique role of the scrum master.
Day 3: Scrum in Practice
Using scrum for actual product creation; team work; planning, review and retrospective in action.

About the facilitator

Discovering XP in 1998 set Tobias Mayer on a journey of discovery into all things Agile. He has been practicing Scrum since 2003, and in 2005 was among the first twenty-five people, worldwide, certified to teach Scrum by Ken Schwaber, its co-founder.

Skilled as a developer, tester and engineering manager, Tobias also has a background in publishing, theatre arts, community service work, and counselling. He skilfully blends this unusual mix of experiences when teaching Scrum, creating a lively and engaging experience.

He is the author of the highly acclaimed, and somewhat controversial book, The People’s Scrum, and has written extensively on leadership, citizenship and corporate transformation. Read more about Tobias here.

Agenda

The CSM test

Yes, there is a test following the workshop. It is an open-book, unsupervised, online test. As long as the participants read the Scrum Guide they will have the information necessary to answer the questions correctly. The cost of the test is covered by the registration fee.

What will you learn?

The overall goal of this workshop is for you to understand the who, what and why of Scrum, so you become inspired to implement Scrum in your organisation effectively and courageously.

This extended workshop is rooted in the Scrum Guide, respects the Scrum Guide, teaches little beyond the Scrum Guide, and yet within the constraints of the guide opens up a whole world of ideas, which will hopefully inspire you towards new ways of thinking, working and interacting. My job is to open up possibilities, your own learning however is your responsibility.

Who should attend

The Why of Scrum

Although entitled "Certified Scrum Master" (a necessary categorisation required by the Scrum Alliance) this workshop is more accurately described as an introduction to the framework and application of Scrum. This CSM has a particular focus on the values, principles and overall essence of Scrum. The purpose behind all the meetings, roles, and artefacts will be uncovered, and the relationship aspects of a healthy workplace will be explored.

Thus the course is suitable for everyone who is about to start using Scrum or has already gathered some experience and wants to deepen their understanding of Scrum: project managers, product managers, developers, testers, analysts, designers... It is also useful to managers and those championing Scrum, or exploring it from a stakeholder perspective.

In other words, you're all welcome :)
