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.

• The role & responsibilities of a ScrumMaster.
• 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.
• 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.
