A Certified Scrum Master makes sure the team always performs at its best. This requires more than a basic understanding of Scrum.

The CSM training is perfect for

You have completed our Scrum Foundation course, gained experience on the job or read about Scrum. Or maybe you are quite new to it all. CSM is perfect for anyone who wants to know more about Scrum and is eager to officially become a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Master.

What will you learn during the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) training?

We start with a brief refresh: the theory behind Scrum, rolls, events, sprints and more. We take a look at a Scrum Master’s core competencies. What does facilitating mean, and how can you best coach your team? After that we take a deep-dive. A Certified Scrum Master knows how to work with the Developers, support a Product Owner and how to add true value to the entire organization. What does your role involve? What are you responsible for? And, what kind of behavior supports or hinders success?
