trainer Petri Heiramo
ScrumMaster's role is often pivotal in the successful use of Scrum. And I'm not meaning organizing meetings and ensuring that there's enough coffee in the team's kitchen. Anyone can do those. I'm talking about the real responsibilities that require a master of Scrum - observing and providing feedback to the Development Team and PO, helping the Development Team jell, visualizing information in the system, being an organisational change agent, supporting the Development Team's self-organisation, and so on.
In this course, we will set the foundations for a path towards that mastery.
In these first steps, we will look at things like:
In this course, we will set the foundations for a path towards that mastery.
In these first steps, we will look at things like:
- Experience the power of iterative and incremental learning
- Deep-dive into the foundations behind Scrum and Agile
- Explore Scrum's flow, roles and artefacts
- Find out how to help a team jell and how the ScrumMaster role changes as the team matures
- Study what makes user stories so powerful and useful
- Try out Release Planning and learn how to help Product Owners successfully plan for future
This course is great not just for ScrumMasters. Development Team members will find the information invaluable in their work within the team. Managers will get solid understanding on how the projects need to work and how to create an energizing workplace.
People with little experience with Scrum will walk out with solid foundation for further learning. People with prior experience will get a great chance to reflect on their use of Scrum and Agile, and will add nuances to their understanding.
The trainer guarantees that there will be no PowerPoint slides. Instead, the course is full of exercises and group conversations. There will be plenty of opportunities for your questions.
All CSM courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSM course, passing the CSM test, and accepting the license agreement 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.

Primarily aimed at ScrumMasters and people with similar responsibilities, but the course is great for anyone interested in Scrum and Agile. For people with less experience, it will provide a solid foundation understanding and applying Scrum and Agile correctly. It also helps incorporating learning from other sources.
For experienced people, it will provide an opportunity to peek deeper into the foundations of Agile and fine-tune understanding of the framework. Even very experienced people will walk out of the class with new insights and reflections. The course is also great for networking with people who are interested in Agile or are already using it.
