About This Class

Two full days, in person, with a Certified Scrum Trainer — not a webcam. Walk in curious, walk out exam-ready, with the practical tools and confidence to lead your team through real Scrum.

You'll earn your CSM certification from Scrum Alliance — plus a two-year Scrum Alliance membership and lifetime access to the Global Scrum Community.

Outcomes

What You'll Walk Away With

✓

Run effective Scrum events — Daily Scrums, Sprint Planning, Reviews, and Retrospectives that actually move the work forward.

✓

Lead like a Scrum Master, not a project manager — coach, facilitate, and remove blockers instead of just tracking tasks.

✓

Build teams that sustain themselves — collaborative, high-performing, and able to keep improving without you in the room.

✓

Avoid the traps most new teams fall into — the common Scrum mistakes that quietly derail momentum.

Curriculum

What You'll Learn

Five modules across two live, in-person days

Scrum Framework Foundations — the roles, events, and artifacts that make Scrum work, and why each one exists.

Facilitating the Scrum Events — running Daily Scrums, Sprint Planning, Reviews, and Retrospectives that people actually want to attend.

The Scrum Master as Coach & Leader — shifting from managing tasks to coaching people and protecting the team's focus.

Backlog & Release Planning — evolving the Product Backlog and planning sprints and releases with the Product Owner.

Avoiding Common Pitfalls — the mistakes most new Scrum teams make, and how to steer around them.
