Certified Scrum Master/Advanced

Introduction and Goals


As an experienced ScrumMaster, Product Owner, Agile Coach or Manager in an Agile Enterprise, you have started working with Scrum, read one or more of the books and have some understanding of Scrum. Maybe you feel some of the pieces of the puzzle are missing? Or are you working within a Scrum Team, but have the feeling you are not making any progress? Even if you already are a Certified ScrumMaster, you are looking for answers to hard questions. How do you scale Scrum? How do you deal with organizational impediments and team dysfunctions? How do you improve the quality of engineering?


Target Audience


This course is ideal for Scrum Masters, Project Leaders, Product Owners or IT Managers who wish to deepen their understanding of Scrum.


Goals


After this course, you should:

  • Have solidified your understanding of Scrum and Agile Development
  • Learned how to apply Scrum to complex situations
  • Have many ideas on how to improve the development process in your organization.

With two sometimes conflicting perspectives from experienced Scrum Masters, you should sharpen your understanding, increase your experience and improve your judgment in applying Scrum. And of course, you qualify to become a Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster (online test required) or your membership is extended if you already are a CSM.

Effective 1 October 2009, all CSMs will be required to complete a Certified ScrumMaster course and pass a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) online certification exam to maintain certification.  Please read more about Scrum certification from the Scrum Alliance.
