Learn the Scrum framework for an agile project and the essentials of working as a ScrumMaster or Scrum team member. Through a fun mix of theoretical explanation, problem exploration and practical exercises, this 2–day course will equip attendees for their first Scrum project or enable them to reflect on their projects and become more agile.
Attendees will learn, through doing and questioning, about Scrum concepts and artefacts such as the Product Backlog, release planning, Sprint planning, the Daily Scrum and burndown charts. They will also learn that, despite being a simple framework, it is deceptively simple in that Scrum requires discipline and hard work to be effective.
Each aspect of the Scrum framework is explained in terms of its principles, its relation to the rest of the framework and is supplemented with stories of real–life examples while also giving the attendees the opportunity to explore the concepts in fun, practical case–studies.
Questions and conversations are encouraged throughout and there is also a dedicated Q&A session to explore the concerns and practical queries of the attendees which helps to put the learning in to context.
As Certified Scrum Trainers we are approved by the Scrum Alliance and have had experience of Scrum implementations small, medium and large, coming up against and resolving many barriers to Scrum along the way.
Who Should Attend?
Anyone interested in starting a Scrum project or wishing to improve their current Scrum implementation. Naturally intended for those taking on the ScrumMaster role, it is equally useful for any Scrum team member.
Exam:
Changes from Scrum Alliance on how to become a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). The changes will take place on 1 March.
The Scrum Alliance no longer require the exam to become a CSM, instead there will be an assessment.
The assessment or test will be online after you completed your Scrum training. You will have 90 days to take the test. On the test it will be given 25 questions drawn from a pool of 13 terminology questions, 15 practices questions, and 7 principles questions. When the test is completed you will get your score percentage and the right answers on those you missed.
The results will explain why an answer is correct and will point out to you the web–based resources to read up on the missed question. The goal is to help you learn rather than just give you a score percentage. You can not fail the test, and that the purpose of it is to provide further learning. Pleas do not hesitate to contact us for any questions, we are more than happy to answer the questions you may have.
