Effective Scrum isn't just applying theory or process - it's about creating space for a Team to collaborate and deliver value, effectively. Not just in person, but even when the interactions are virtual and online.

If you're ready to learn Scrum in a fun and engaging way via pragmatic techniques you can apply immediately, this course is for you. From deep study of brain science and adult learning, we've learned what it takes to be effective in a virtual environment and avoid "Zoom fatigue."

The workshop includes all the material required by the Scrum Alliance for its Certified ScrumMaster CSM® certification, along with stories, tips, tricks and practices to take the theory of Scrum and put it into effective action in your organization.

This course is not a Powerpoint snooze-fest. Short presentations cover concepts. Immersive team-based exercises are interwoven into each lesson to get you hands-on practice. You'll find the engaging and impactful sessions turn complex topics into easy to understand concepts and techniques, leaving participants eager for more.

Beyond the basics, we also explore Scrum in action - facilitating team interactions, working with the team's Backlog of work, and getting work "Done" (or perhaps it's Done-Done)!

"Bernie made this class fun and entertaining. The class flew by everyday. In my situation, I came from a HR background and ZERO scrum experience. Bernie was excellent about relating the class to me in ways that I would better understand what he was teaching." -- Cara Consadine

"This class is worth EVERY PENNY! Bernie is a great instructor that keeps the class entertaining but also provides useful application for real world scenarios." -- Jascelyn Gause

"Multi hour sessions are undeniably daunting, but within the first 15 minutes I was interacting, laughing, and learning. ... I can feel myself using some of the techniques of your flavorful delivery with my team already - and it's making a difference." -- Craig Cochran

"If you're taking this course, "you're in the right place"... Thank you for providing a safe environment to learn new skills. It's crazy how a good teacher can help you learn new things without making it feel like a chore. Take this course, you won't be disappointed." -- Christina Monti

This workshop includes:

• Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster CSM® Exam fee
• Two-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, the largest, most established and influential professional membership and certification organization in the Agile community
• 14 PMI PDUs for PMPs
• 14 of the 21 contact hours needed for a PMI-ACP credential

This course is appropriate for Scrum Masters, as well as Product Owners, Scrum Team Members and Managers interested in understanding and applying the fundamentals of how Scrum and Agile work at the team level. It's equally valuable for folks new to the world of Agile/Scrum, as well as people whose organizations have been practicing some form of Agile for a while and need a "reset."

• How soon can I get my CSM® certification? On completing your participation in the full workshop, a link will be emailed to you from the Scrum Alliance to access their online certification exam. We often see workshop participants complete their certification exam and become Certified Scrum Masters within 24 hours of completing the workshop.
• Can I Miss Several Hours of the Workshop and Still be Certified? No. Scrum Alliance does have an attendance requirement. Because Scrum Alliance requires 14 hours of instruction, if you miss more than 15 minutes of the workshop, you will not be eligible for certification, yet you will be welcome to attend the rest of the workshop. Don't worry, if something big comes up, we'll move you at no charge to a future workshop.
• Can I Make Up Missed Material by Attending Part of Another Workshop? No. Amongst other factors, each class moves through the material at different paces. This means it's unreliable to predict a clear window where a set of previously missed LOs will be covered. There are further complicating factors in partial attendance. For the smoothest experience for all, you're welcome to make up missed material by attending a future workshop in full at no charge.
• What do I need to bring to class? You'll need a computer with microphone, camera and speakers. Use https://fast.com to test your internet connection. After the download numbers stop, use the "more" option to calculate your upload speed. You'll need 5 down / 1 up - and more is better. Now, while you're in class you'll be actively using your computer to participate in exercises, so plan to peek at your email only during a break or at lunch.

We understand that things can change, and we strive to be as agile as possible with respect to registrations. Please email us no later than 5 business days before the start of the workshop and we'll arrange a refund or transfer to a future date. Cancellations received within 5 full business days of the start of the course will receive a credit (no cash value) towards a future workshop. Please request changes by emailing [email protected].
