Certified ScrumMaster Workshop (CSM)

This Scrum Master (CSM) course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the Scrum methodology while reviewing the behaviors expected of a Scrum Master.

Beginning with the history of agile development and moving through the disciplines promoted by Scrum, the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) training course gives you a comprehensive understanding of the Scrum methodology while specifically reviewing the behaviors expected of a ScrumMaster. This two–day Certified ScrumMaster training course is suitable for those practicing or looking to practice the art of the ScrumMaster but is highly valuable for anyone involved in Scrum.

Even projects that have solid, well–defined project plans encounter some degree of change and waste. Shifting market conditions, budget cuts, staff restructuring, or any number of influences disrupt the best plan while contributing to customer dissatisfaction and staff discouragement. Moreover, projects that begin with changing or unclear requirements make it difficult to establish project expectations. Scrum is the agile development process that allows teams to deliver usable software periodically throughout the life of the project, evolving with new requirements as the project proceeds.

Reviews of our Certified ScrumMaster Workshop (CSM) Course

Engaging and knowledgeable instructors. I feel they have prepared me for the CSM exams.
Tony F., Raytheon Technologies (RTX)

Peter was a fantastic instructor. He presented all the material in a helpful and informative manner. He spent time to work through any questions the class had and was an excellent conversation facilitator.
Tim M.

[The instructor] is amazing, I kind of want to hire him to do a deep dive of our companies current processes so he can help improve them
Ryan N., Activision Publishing, Inc

Peter kept the group engaged at all times! I’ve taken other courses in the past and wish Peter could have been the teacher for all of them as he made the time pass so quickly!
Annie V.

This was fantastic. [The instructors] were amazing, super knowledgable, and very willing to assist us with everything. I will 100% recommend to anyone interested in getting certified.
Agnieszka Beata R.

The best virtual class I have ever taken. Kim was committed to delivering an interactive course with participation from everyone, versus listening to someone drone on through PowerPoint slides just to get through material covered on an exam. Kim's passion and love for this topic was evident and benefitted the students in the class.
James V., Adtalem Global Education

The instructor was awesome. He was able to get everyone engaged, kept it interesting, and gave so much logical information.
Kristine R., Appliance Experts

Course content prepared me well for the certification exam which I passed on the first attempt. Angela was great! I'd take another class with her.
Michael B.

Course work was very timely and applicable - I had done some previous study on this certification, but felt that I got a lot of hands on experience with the actual course! It was well plotted and good information to use.
Robyn W.

I thoroughly enjoyed this online training. It was as close as you can get to in-person training. The course was well designed and time boxed for the material, with planned breaks and breakout rooms for the exercises.

This was probably one of the best Live Training courses I have ever taken. Great class! Very fun and interactive. [The instructor] was great! He kept us on task, transparent with the objective and timing, and very fun!

Excellent real-world examples and storytelling. I very much enjoyed the pace and application of adult learning principles with frequent breaks, I will be using this technique in future self-paced education and work balance. Thank you!!

Anu was fabulous! The examples and interactive Murals shared by her team really helped me understand the material to be prepared for the test. Loved how the breakout rooms were flawlessly engineered too. Excellent and engaging all around!
