For professionals supporting an Agile adoption at their companies or who desire to master the technique for managing their own work.

This intensive two-day course will prepare you to take on the ScrumMaster role and is taught by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer®*. We will cover pragmatic, time-tested practices for managing complex work, long and short-range planning, project execution, and progress reporting. We’ll also examine many facets of Scrum, including the project lifecycle, roles, ceremonies, and artifacts.

You will participate in exercises, in-depth discussion, case studies and techniques to help illustrate practices and principles. After completing the course, you will be eligible for ScrumMaster Certification with the Scrum Alliance®. Completing the course is the pre-requisite to gaining access to the online exam.  You will also receive a two-year membership in the Scrum Alliance®, an organization that provides valuable materials and resources exclusively to CSMs.
