What are the roles of Scrum? What are its meetings? How is work prioritized?


Certified ScrumMasterCollabNet’s ScrumMaster Certification course delves into these topics through immersion and exercises. Designed to introduce the entire Scrum framework through the ScrumMaster role, this two-day course is ideal for those who are new to Scrum, including Product Owners and Team Members, as well. Through a combination of lecture and hands-on sprint simulation, participants learn Scrum’s primary principles and practices.   In Scrum, the ScrumMaster works with the Product Owner and the Team to ensure that Scrum’s rules are followed to facilitate increased productivity and process improvements. By encouraging the Team to self-organize, removing impediments that obstruct their progress, and radiating information to the Scrum Team, the ScrumMaster plays a critical role in realizing project success.  

All courses are taught by Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainers and satisfy the Scrum Alliance course requirement toward ScrumMaster Certification.

Testimonials
Public CSM course, Copenhagen Denmark
"Thank you very much for this email and all the useful links. Michael James was way ahead of you and I simply felt I had to take a minute to compliment his skills as a trainer. I participated in the ScrumMaster Certification course in Copenhagen this week and, from the second Michael James opened his mouth and welcomed everyone, we were completely drawn into this amazing world of learning, participating, and debating. As a systems developer for a minor Danish Internet Service Provider, I've taken quite a few courses in the past five years, but I have to say that no other teacher, tutor, or mentor has even gotten close to Michael James's skills in communication! I'm sure that working with Agile development and using Scrum for years has had its effect on him. If not, there has to be some “Rainman” in him. His expertise in using timeboxes is absolutely breathtaking and, on more than one occasion, after a brief detour to another relevant issue, his little timer beeped only seconds later after asking if we had any questions. Even after having spent up to 10 minutes on a trainee's question without checking the timer, this was the case! As a trainee at his course, you cannot help finishing the two days with a feeling that you've achieved something very unique, but I'm not sure if it's the theories and Scrum exercises or Michael James’s skilled way of tutoring/training. If my appreciation of Michael James’s work in some way could be forwarded to Danube management, I'd be very pleased. "

"I felt that Michael James was very motivated to help us learn. It shows that he truly loves Scrum. I also liked that he didn't sell Scrum, but kept to the facts...let them speak for themselves."

"I thought that Kane did a great job of delivering this course, and I learned a great deal. In fact, I just had a meeting with our General Manager to discuss some of the changes I think we need to make to our existing "scrum-ish" process, and to get his buy-in on the likely impact on "paying" work while we pay off some of the "debt" we've accumulated. The conversation went well, and I drew heavily on Kane's presentation in the discussion... Thanks for offering this excellent class. I've already recommended it for two of our other managers"
