CSM Badge

The Scrum Alliance® Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) learning is a highly interactive, in-depth approach to covering the values and principles of Agile and the theory, practices, and rules of Scrum. It provides practical guidance for adopting Scrum and continuously improving your organisation. It is online, so you won't have to travel :)

Incorporating Scrum principles and practices takes diligence, patience, and a commitment to continuous improvement. Scrum is a framework, not a prescriptive methodology. This course will help you understand Agile, Scrum and more.

However, it goes beyond this to prepare the learner to become a Great Scrum Master. It gives participants hands-on experience using Scrum and closes with a Certification exam. You come away with an industry certificate that recognises you as a Scrum Master ready to start serving the Developers, Product Owners, and Organisation.

Their effectiveness and influence as true leaders are tangible and measurable in the value of each product increment delivered within each Sprint cycle, which is at the heart of Scrum.

The minimum class size is six people due to the interactive nature of the class.

The Scrum Alliance allows a maximum of 50 people. However, we have never had a class near this number. We balance the need to learn from others in the group with enough time with the instructor. We often have someone supporting the instructor to provide extra focus for larger classes.
