Certified ScrumMaster®

 

All CSM courses are taught by Trainers approved by the Scrum Alliance. Taking a CSM course, accepting the license agreement, and passing the CSM test 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.

Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) Certification

This two-day certification program will allow participants to receive their Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) Certification. Organizations, developers, and executives have recognized Scrum as the most successful agile development framework. Its growing popularity can be attributed to its ability to boost ROI for businesses and align the goals of developers, businesses, sponsors, and executives.

Scrum can increase team productivity and innovation, as well as produce the major components of an application in a fraction of the time that it would take using traditional methods, reducing waste and improving efficiency.

Overview

This hands-on, online workshop is designed for anyone new to agile ways of working. This course includes multiple simulations, real-life scenarios, exercises, group discussions, and role plays.

The use of Scrum goes far beyond the software industry where it has its roots. Since Scrum is applicable across industries and teams, marketers, data scientists, human resource employees, and anyone seeking to solve complex problems can benefit from Scrum.

The course covers a variety of topics, including Scrum theory; Scrum roles; Scrum events; sprint and increment; Scrum artifacts; the Scrum master core competencies of facilitation, teaching, mentoring, and coaching; Scrum master service to developers, product owners, and organizations; and more.
