ScrumMaster training provides an applied understanding of the Scrum process and helps participants begin to develop the tools, insights, and skills required to apply Scrum on their projects and across their organizations.

Additional Information :
The course will run from 9am-5pm each day. A continental breakfast, breaks and lunch will be provided.

Following the course, each participant is enrolled as a Certified ScrumMaster, which includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional ScrumMaster-only material and information are available.

Who Should Attend

This course has been taken by everyone connected to a Scrum Team.  The CEO of a company, the COO, the CFO, the ScrumMaster, the Product Owner, Team members, managers, stakeholders.  Everyone.  With profit.

It is common for whole Teams (and related stakeholders) to take the course all at one time. This is very valuable.

As you can tell by the title of the course, it was originally designed to teach people to become ScrumMasters.  Sometimes one person can take the course, learn about Scrum, already have the basic skills of a ScrumMaster, and go back and implement Scrum quickly with success. 

You will get useful knowledge about how and why Scrum works.

The course includes many interactive exercises and small-group discussions. These will prepare you to plan your first sprint immediately after this class.

PMPs: You can receive 16 Professional Development Units (PDUs) for this course.

Course Material

Participants will receive course materials (not books) at the course. The CSM course was formulated to train and certify ScrumMasters and is used worldwide for ScrumMaster training. In addition, participants should obtain (at their own expense) Agile Project Management with Scrum, by Ken Schwaber, which is required reading for the course. You may also wish to obtain the primary Scrum book, Agile Software Development with SCRUM by Schwaber and Beedle, on which the course is based.

Of course, there will be updated material and training exercises in the course which you cannot get from books. The entire syllabus will be made available upon registering for the course so you can look it over and bring it with you to the sessions.

The course fee is CAD 1,500 or US$1,290. Subject to change at any time, there is currently an early registration discount to CAD 1,200 or US$ equivalent.  There is also a 10% discount for 3 or more people.
