Certified ScrumMaster - Before AGILE2009 Special Event August 21, 2009

Why?
Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. Watch Scrum Out of a Nutshell before attending. Rather than plan, instruct and direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and leads. In the agile framework known as Scrum, this person is called a ScrumMaster to denote the difference and remind the person filling this role of their new responsibilities.

Objectives
Each individual is trained to be able to assume the following responsibilities:
Remove the barriers between development and the customer so the customer directly drives development;
Teach the customer how to maximize ROI and meet their objectives through Scrum;
Improve the lives of the development team by facilitating creativity and empowerment;
Improve the productivity of the development team in any way possible; and,
Improve the engineering practices and tools so each increment of functionality is potentially shippable
