What is a ScrumMaster?

An agile project manager emphasizes facilitation, leadership and communication over traditional command-and-control activities.  In the Scrum framework, this role is called “ScrumMaster” as a constant reminder of the differences between agile and traditional project management.  The ScrumMaster’s role is to maximize the team’s efforts toward its goals while removing the impediments that stand in its way.

Certified ScrumMaster Course

In this two-day course, you will apply the Scrum framework to build a new product. You will learn what it feels like to be on a Scrum team—experiencing many of the challenges you're likely to face—while being coached by someone involved with the application of Scrum at many organizations. This “learning by doing” style of instruction demands your open mind and active participation.

We will apply the experiential activities to discussion of advanced topics such as how to use Scrum in multiple-team organizations, how to measure progress empirically at a macro level, release planning to maximize ROI, and why such a simple framework disrupts organizations to be the best they can be.

The CSM course will cover the following topics (among others) through two days of interactive exercises, lecture, and discussion:

• Introduction to Scrum
• Scrum Roles and Responsibilities
• Agile Requirements Analysis
• Estimating and Prioritizing Product Backlogs
• Sprint Planning, Execution, Review, and Retrospectives
• What does "Done" mean?
• Technical Debt and other pitfalls
• Release planning based on empirical measurement
• Scrum in multiple-team organizations
• Q & A

Successful completion of a two-day ScrumMaster Certification course, taught by a Certified Scrum Trainer, is a requisite for taking the Certified ScrumMaster exam. Upon completion of the course, attendees are eligible to take the exam, the successful completion of which results in the designation of "Certified ScrumMaster" from the Scrum Alliance.

Public Course Cancellation & Refresh Policy

Full refunds are available up until 10 business days before the scheduled event date. Cancellations made within 10 business days of the event will be credited toward future events. However, no refunds will be issued. Rescheduling course attendance within 3 full business days or less will be subject to a transfer fee. No refunds or credits will be available for participants that fail to attend both days of the course. Substitutions will be accepted at any time prior to commencement of the course.

As an added value to course participants, Danube reserves two seats at each of its public courses for individuals who have already successfully completed a course from Danube, but would like to take it a second time at no cost. This allows participants to brush up on their Scrum basics or attend a session led by a different Certified Scrum Trainer. The offer is provided on a first-come, first-served basis and must be used for the same course as the original (i.e., an individual who completed a CSM course may enroll in another CSM course, but not a Product Owner course). In addition, this offer is only available within the first six months following the original course, so please contact Danube as early as possible to reserve your seat.
