Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) In-Person Training

Ignite High Performing Teams with Scrum

Effective Scrum isn't just applying theory or process - it's about creating space for a Team to collaborate and deliver value, effectively.

If you're ready to learn Scrum in a fun and engaging way via pragmatic techniques you can apply immediately, this course is for you. From deep study of brain science and adult learning, we've learned what it takes to be effective. You will gain a practical understanding of the roles, artifacts, and events of Scrum, via hands-on exercises, discussion, fun games, and immersion.

The workshop includes all the material required by the Scrum Alliance for its Certified ScrumMaster CSM® certification, along with stories, tips, tricks and practices to take the theory of Scrum and put it into effective action in your organization.

This course is not a PowerPoint snooze-fest. Short presentations cover concepts. Immersive team-based exercises are interwoven into each lesson to get you hands-on practice.
