ScrumTraining PMI
Certified Scrum Trainer

Cert. NameThis two-day course not only provides the fundamental principles of Scrum, it also gives participants hands-on experience using Scrum. This course puts theory into action through a variety of exercises. During the course, attendees will learn why such a seemingly simple process such as Scrum can have such profound effects on an organization. Participants gain practical experience working with Scrum tools and activities such as the product backlog, sprint backlog, daily Scrum meetings, sprint planning meeting, and burndown charts. Participants leave knowing how to apply Scrum to all sizes of projects, from a single collocated team to a large, highly distributed team.

Following successful completion of the course, each participant will be designated Certified ScrumMaster. This certification includes a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional ScrumMaster-only material and information are available.

ScrumMaster Certification Exam Not Required

This course occurs before the new Scrum Alliance rules that require passing a sixty-question, computer-based test to become certified. If you attend this course, you will not need to take a test to become certified. For more information, see this page about the CSM exam.
