ScrumMasters - a heartbeat of effective Teams

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."

Get Hands-On Experience with Scrum

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)!

Meet Your Instructors:
Primary Instructor: Sasha (Alexander) Frumkin

Sasha (Alexander) Frumkin calls himself a recovering developer and a Scrumoholic. Having started programming in Algol-60 in high school, he still codes for fun. Through his technical career, he can remember the pain of working long hours and weekends on "waterfall" projects with arbitrary plans imposed on the team. Luckily, he learned about the Agile Manifesto and Scrum in 2007 and hasn't looked back.

Sasha learned Scrum by doing it. He's orchestrated implementations of Scrum across multiple organizations, from handfuls to hundreds of teams, helping deliver innovative products in record time. He believes that Agility is the path to handling the complexity of our rapidly emerging world. Further, he believes the human-centricity of Scrum helps bring happiness to the workplace, and happy people are productive people. Eager to help more people find a better way of solving complex problems, he's ready to share his experience and passion for Scrum with you. ARE YOU READY?

The Fine Print
FAQ

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.
