In this seminar participants learn how to guide a team, a project, or an organization into a process of rapid delivery of valuable results. Exercises, case studies, and examples are used to assist participants to develop the knowledge, skills, capabilities and insights needed to make the shift from traditional management practices to Agile practices.

The Learning Objectives for this Seminar are:
One: Describe all parts and participate in all parts of the Scrum framework
Two: Launch a Scrum team using a step-by-step process
Three: Overcome typical obstacles as you launch Scrum

Why is this seminar better than others out there?
Our Certified ScrumMaster seminar is unique in many ways:

  • Facilitated by Certified Scrum Trainer™ Mark Levison, an Agile expert since 2001
  • Mark has a deep understanding of how people learn and applies to all of his courses (see Neuroscience of Learning). This isn’t a class with a bunch of words on PowerPoint slides
  • Classroom management using agile methods so that you can learn by example
  • Two intensive days of training with exercises, simulations, discussion and lecture
  • Seminar material designed to balance practical hands-on application and the theory and principles so you can adapt to your workplace
  • Small class size to give you more opportunities to address your concerns
  • Course attendees receive support after the class via a LinkedIn group
  • Electronic copies of all seminar materials including free updates forever
  • 14 PDUs if you are a member of the Project Management Institute
  • Certification as a ScrumMaster through Scrum Alliance
  • One year paid membership in the Scrum Alliance
