Weekend In-Person Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Master (CSM) - Phoenix, AZ

Come join us at Hope High School for an exciting day of learning and networking with fellow Scrum enthusiasts.

During this event, you will have the opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge to become a Certified Scrum Master (with the Scrum Alliance) through interactive workshops, discussions, and hands-on activities.

Whether you are new to Scrum or looking to deepen your understanding, this event is perfect for anyone interested in Agile methodologies.

Don't miss out on this chance to connect with industry professionals, expand your professional network, and take your Scrum Master journey to the next level. We can't wait to see you there!

This training is about shifting your mindset and learning a new perspective; this is not just a "101" (or fundamentals) course.

Over two days IN PERSON over a WEEKEND, you will experience what it is like to work on a Scrum Team from the perspective of a Scrum Master.

If you want to sleep or do other work, please attend another training.

If you "only" want a certification stamp, please go to another training.

You help build the experience with your peers in the training together.

1) It's IN PERSON (not remote or hybrid) at Hope High School. Remember what in person training was like in the before times? You must attend and participate in person. No Zoom and Not Hybrid!

3) It's an AWESOME VENUE where you can also see how Scrum and Agile is being used by the entire school district and at each of the schools by the administrators, teachers, and students in the classroom.

4) THERE IS A DIFFERENCE between Scrum at the "operations" level (leading a school and district) and "flipping the classroom" (see AgileInEducation.com for more information about that). THIS CSM training is Scrum that is used for district and school operations, projects, and understanding for teachers and administrators to use with the students to get on the same page with the kids!

5) While teachers, administrators, AND STUDENTS will be participating, the registration for THIS CSM TRAINING IS OPEN TO ANYONE who is seeking the certification from the Scrum Alliance with me as the facilitator. It's always a great combination when people from education and industry get together. Amazingly, it's all about interactions between people and well... be ready to see what that really means!

We'll take breaks often and your participation is expected over the two days.

Participation is required; think of this as a two day guided conversation with other people who are interested in learning together with you.

Here is what you may experience....

Prior to the training, you'll receive preparation materials e-mailed to you beginning up to a week before the event.

You'll have time to prepare before we meet!

Coming out of the two days, you should have some real actionable things you can put into place the next working day with the techniques you have learned.

It's the beginning of a journey. Just the beginning.

You'll get all the information you need to get registered with the Scrum Alliance (the non-profit organization that issues the certification) and then take an online assessment test.

Don't worry about scoring 100% -- you DO NOT need to be perfect (I know... being part of the 100% club is a thing I strive for regularly too!). Based on the aggregate numbers from all my international attendees, this should not be something hard to finish.

Once you pass the test with the Scrum Alliance online, you'll have a two year membership with the Scrum Alliance and you'll be a Certified Scrum Master. The initial membership fee is included in the cost of your workshop attendance, and I'll take care of processing all that with the Scrum Alliance for you.

If you need PDU's for the PMI or other continuing education credits, we'll work with you to make sure you get them applied appropriately (usually good for up to 16 PDUs).

Over time, you'll also have the opportunity to keep in touch with me. And if you don't want to hear from me again, it's OK too. I'll give you advice along the way and you'll have real life access to me even after the training is completed.

I want you to succeed.

I am here to help.

If you have any questions about this, please contact me at +1 262-MVIZDOS (262-684-9367) -- my personal phone number.

Thank you.
