Certified ScrumMaster

Course Description

Beginning with the history of Agile development and moving through the disciplines promoted by Scrum, this Scrum Master (CSM) training course will give you a comprehensive understanding of the Scrum methodology while specifically reviewing the behaviors expected of a Scrum Master. This 2–day Certified Scrum Master training course is suitable for those practicing or looking to practice the art of the Scrum Master, but is highly valuable for anyone involved in Scrum (Managers, Team Members, Product Managers, etc.). Even projects that have solid, well–defined project plans encounter some degree of change and waste. Shifting market conditions, budget cuts, staff restructuring, or any number of influences will disrupt the best plan while contributing to customer dissatisfaction and staff discouragement. Moreover, projects that begin with changing or unclear requirements make it difficult to even establish project expectations. Scrum is the Agile development process that allows teams to deliver usable software periodically throughout the life of the project, evolving with new requirements as the project proceeds.

This certification course is backed by Our Exam Pass Guarantee. Upon completion of our Certified Scrum Master training course, if after two attempts within the 60-day evaluation period and you have not passed the exam and obtained certification, Velocity Knowledge will allow you to attend another session of our Scrum Master Certification Course free of charge and pay for you to retake your certification exam.
