Scrum

This is a good “standard” write-up of what the course is like (i.e. a syllabus)… there is WAY much more to it!

Purpose

To teach someone how to be a ScrumMaster in their organization OR work as a Scrum Team Member.

Overview

This is your opportunity to learn about Scrum –- in the real world -– from one of the top industry experts. Come prepared to challenge old beliefs and be open to new ways of thinking about how you approach work in the future.

Objectives

At the successful completion of the workshop (and this is with ANY certified Scrum Trainer), there will be a test administered by the Scrum Alliance (the certification body that will give you your certificate). Details on this can be found at: http://www.scrumalliance.org/pages/certified_scrummaster_csm
