Certified Scrum MasterScrum is the best known and most frequently used Agile approach, allowing for effective product development. It lets you see what's really happening, get fast feedback and adapt your practices to get most of your product with every short increment.

Scrum changes the way of managing software development. Moving away from the traditional, formal management, it emphasizes self-organization of the development team and responding to the customers needs and changes in the environment. Therefore, Scrum Team no longer needs typical project manager, and this place is filled with two new roles - Scrum Master and Product Owner.

Through interactive exercises they learn Scrum principles and how to efficiently apply them to lead and empower Agile team. Certified Scrum Trainer presents advanced Scrum topics, such as multi-team organizations and explains how to handle challenges the Scrum project encounters.
