Ignite High Performing Teams with Scrum

ScrumMasters - a heartbeat of effective Teams

Effective Scrum isn't just applying theory or process - it's about creating space for a Team to collaborate and deliver value, effectively. Not just in person, but even when the interactions are virtual and online.

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 in a virtual environment and avoid "Zoom fatigue."

Get Hands-On Experience with Scrum

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.

The Fine Print

FAQ

• How soon can I get my CSM® certification?  On completing your participation in the full workshop, a link will be emailed to you from the Scrum Alliance to access their online certification exam.  We often see workshop participants complete their certification exam and become Certified Scrum Masters within 24 hours of completing the workshop.

• Can I Miss Several Hours of the Workshop and Still be Certified?  No.  If you miss more than 15 minutes of the workshop, you will not be eligible for certification, and you will be welcome to attend the rest of the workshop.  Don't worry - if something big comes up, we'll move you to a future workshop at no cost.

• What do I need to bring to class?  You'll need a computer with microphone, camera & speakers.  Use https://fast.com to test your internet connection.  After the download numbers stop, use the "more" option to calculate your upload speed.  You'll need 5 down / 1 up - and more is better.  Now, while in class, you'll be actively using your computer to participate in exercises, so plan to peek at your email only during a break or at lunchtime.
