Certified ScrumMaster Training

This two-day ScrumMaster certification course provides everything you need to get started with Scrum and Agile. One of the largest and fastest-growing agile project management methodologies, Scrum is a simple software management technique that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules, is not overly prescriptive and is able to produce productivity gains for software development teams almost immediately.

Delivered by Rally’s world-renowned Certified ScrumMaster trainers, this course shares time-tested practices for managing product backlogs, planning your releases and iterations (Sprints) and tracking and reporting progress. Participants will learn how to effectively plan and run daily Scrum Meetings, Sprint Planning Meetings, Sprint Reviews, Retrospectives, and more.

On completion, participants are registered as Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs), which includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where valuable ScrumMaster-material and information are available exclusively to CSMs.

Intended Audience

This hands-on certification course is appropriate for all software team members. Specific roles that would benefit from becoming a CSM include Product Managers and Analysts, Project Managers, Team Leads, Architects, Developers, Testers, CIOs, and CTOs.
