Don’t Just Get Certified. Learn to Be an Effective Scrum Master.

Scrum certification is easy to get.

Helping teams actually improve is not.

Mountain Goat Software’s Certified ScrumMaster® course is designed for people who want to understand Scrum deeply and apply it effectively—in real teams, facing real constraints, inside real organizations.
If you’re looking for more than a credential, you’re in the right place.

What This Certified ScrumMaster Course Focuses On

We focus on helping you use Scrum effectively, especially when things aren’t ideal.

You’ll see how to:

  • Facilitate Scrum events that lead to meaningful outcomes
  • Help teams move toward real self-management
  • What to do when Scrum feels mechanical or ineffective
  • Tackle resistance, conflict, or disengagement
  • Apply Scrum principles in imperfect environments
This course goes beyond explaining Scrum roles, events, and artifacts.

A Unique, Interactive Learning Experience

Team Home is a collaboration platform that we designed for our courses. It is optimized for live, online training. Participants benefit by collaborating in ways beyond what is possible with generic whiteboard software such as Mural or Miro. Instructors can observe activity across all rooms, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of exercise debriefs.
