Certified Scrum Master Training (CSM)

It may be more cost-effective to run this course onsite if you have a group of 8 or more people. Speak to the AWA team for more details.

Each student is taught to assume the responsibilities of a ScrumMaster.

By the end of the workshop participants will understand the Scrum framework well enough to return to work and take up the role of ScrumMaster, or to apply the principles and practices to any other role in the organisation, e.g. developer, tester, manager, director. More specifically, participants will develop the following skills:

• Facilitate all Scrum ceremonies: refinement, planning, daily scrum, review and retrospective;
• Be able to recognise organisational impediments that break the creative flow of a development team;
• Improve the work of the development team by facilitating creativity and empowerment, and guide the team members to improve their engineering practices so each increment of functionality is potentially shippable;
• Foster a collaborative relationship between the teams and the product owner/customer to meet the needs of the business;
• Work with managers, directors and executives to help them understand how to support the Scrum initiative.

Participants will also have sufficient information to easily pass the CSM test.

• Scrum Framework
• Scrum Values
• Scrum Principles
• When to use Scrum
• ScrumMaster as Facilitator

  • Daily Scrum
  • Review
  • Retrospectives
• Scrum Artifacts

This CSM workshop is taught according to the Agile Manifesto, the Scrum Guide and the CSM Learning Objectives.Participants are expected to familiarise themselves with all three documents prior to attending the workshop.

In order to live up to the Scrum ideal of completion, and to experience collaboration and fast feedback the CSM test will be done during the workshop, after lunch on day two. Participants will pair to take the test.

Tobias is a great educator and facilitator – Ben David – QA Manager

I came skeptical of the usefulness of Scrum but can see that the implementation of this methodology would really help our team – Andy Bush – Head of Development

Tobias is a great teacher. Using immersive exercises helped me understand the course better than previous similar ones. Thumbs up – Vincent Synan – Delivery Manager

“The course was great not only did I learn a lot but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don’t know the set up for other Scrum courses, but the level of engagement and encouragement from the all participants and coach was excellent.” – Isher

AWA have solidified my knowledge of Scrum, and I have gone back to work refreshed with a new confidence. – Austin

Tobias brings the subject to life with outstanding mastery. The practical approach, learning from doing and playing with scrum, deepens the learning and gives you confidence to go out in the world and begin your scrum master journey. – Anna

I enjoyed the course very much. I had been using Agile for around 5 years but still learned a lot from the course. Having passed the exam, I recently won a contract as a Scrum Master.. so well worth it on that front! – Don

“The course exceeded my expectations as I had thought it would have been mainly focused around a dull PowerPoint presentation and taking notes. But I was wrong, the course was very lively and interactive which really helped me understand Scrum (and also pass the test!).” – Hameda
