Course Overview

This two-day ScrumMaster certification course taught by Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainers provides everything you need to get started with Scrum. One of the largest and fastest-growing Agile project management frameworks, Scrum is a simple software management technique that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules, is not overly prescriptive and is able to produce productivity gains for software development teams almost immediately.

This course shares time-tested practices for managing product backlogs, planning your releases and iterations (Sprints) and tracking and reporting progress. You'll learn how to plan and run Sprint Planning Meetings, daily Scrum Meetings, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Retrospectives and more!

Currently, an individual is certified when he or she has attended a Certified ScrumMaster course and has completed the exam.

On completion and passing of the exam, participants are registered as Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs), which includes a two-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, (www.scrumalliance.org) where valuable ScrumMaster-material and information are available exclusively to CSMs.
