Certified Scrum Master (CSM)
Overview
Scrum is an agile project management method that focuses upon short, focused work periods called “Sprints.” During this time period, no extra tasks are added to the list called the sprint backlog. The Scrum Master is the one who implements and facilitates the use of scrum by a team during a project. The Scrum Master ensures that the scrum methodology is properly implemented.
Becoming a member of a Scrum team can be a daunting prospect, and being asked to serve as the team`s ScrumMaster can be downright intimidating. You`ve got an idea of what Scrum is and have read a few articles or books on the topic, but you really don`t know how to go about putting that theory into action.
That’s where the CSM course comes in. Our trainers will teach you what you need to know to fill the role of ScrumMaster (or Scrum team member). This course focuses on the basics of the Scrum framework, including team roles, activities, and artifacts, so that you can be an effective member of a Scrum team.
