Scrum Master Certification
Agile project management is as radically different from
traditional project management as agile processes are different
from traditional methodologies. Rather than plan, instruct and
direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and
leads. This person is called a ScrumMaster in the Scrum agile
process to denote the difference and remind the person filling
this role of the new responsibilities. Accepted participants
learn how to be a ScrumMaster and how to make a development
team, a project, or an organization agile. The ScrumMaster is
the person responsible for the proper execution of Scrum and all
change within the engineering and overall organization.
Exercises, case studies, and examples used to bring home the
realization of how to be a ScrumMaster. All participants are
expected to understand Scrum basics prior to attending this
course. This course is "how to" not "what."

A "combo" program: 3-day Certified
Scrum Master & Scrum Bookends (on Sept 5) is offered
for one low price - $1,880. |
