SCRUMMASTER TRAINING

The Scrum Alliance—in true Agile fashion—has adapted to the needs of today’s marketplace and is now allowing students who wish to become Certified ScrumMaster to participate in an all-new, live online learning environment. So, for the foreseeable future, LeadingAgile has shifted all of our classes to the new live online model.

We didn’t want to take our existing course and try to cram it into a new format, so we rebuilt the entire CSM course from the ground up. Also, we know how hard it is to sit and listen to someone; no matter how interesting they are for 8 hours straight. So, we’ve broken up the class into a new format in which we take a 10-minute break every hour. This way, we can all get up and stretch our legs, get some refreshments, or text a loved one. In addition to the new format, we’ve added some brand-new interactive exercises that were designated specifically for remote learning and have created an exercise for each of the major topics covered in class.

We’ve put a ton of thought into how we can make these courses as valuable as possible and have come up with some innovative solutions that we think will make your experience just as valuable as if you had taken it it person. Despite all the changes, what hasn’t changed is the fact that our CSM course still covers all the material you’ll need and that’s required to receive your certification. By the end of the class, you’ll be fully prepared to pass the CSM exam, not because you’ve memorized the facts, but because you’ve internalized and practiced the concepts needed to successfully implement Scrum when you get back to work.

Dave Prior—Certified Scrum Trainer, leads the live online class, two-day learning experience. In addition to the Scrum Alliance covered material, Dave brings decades of experience to the class with thought provoking examples, discussion of real-world scenarios, interactive exercises as well as examples and stories about what happens when you step out of the classroom and practice Scrum “in the wild.”

By the end of the class you will be completely prepared to pass the CSM exam, not because you have memorized facts, but because you have internalized and practiced the concepts needed to successfully implement Scrum when you get back to work.

USE SCRUM TO LEARN SCRUM

CSM training is divided up into four Sprints in order to allow participants to fully immerse themselves in the Scrum framework. The learning modules for the course are listed in a Product Backlog which includes each Learning Objective (LO’s) established by the Scrum Alliance for this class. Throughout the class, students will be reviewing the LO’s and be asked to accept them if they feel that the topic is complete. This is our way of QA’ing each topic and making sure that the participants know we have met the class Learning Objectives. In addition to this, the class includes many topics and exercises which are not listed in the LO’s but are a big part of making sure that each participant leaves the class with tools and practices they can bring back to work and implement right away.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The ScrumMaster course is a great fit for anyone new to Scrum or who has been practicing it in the field and needs to reacquaint themselves with the Scrum framework. If you are coming from a traditional (waterfall) background, are skeptical about, or struggling with getting your head around Agile, this class is for you. With Dave’s experience transitioning from traditional project management to Agile, he takes special care to try and pave an easier way for the participants who are struggling to adopt Agile. That intent, coupled with the experience of all three of our trainers in helping others make the journey into a new way of approaching work provide the framework in which we approach the topic of how to succeed as a Scrum Master.
