Certified ScrumMaster Training Workshop June 23, 2009

2 Day Scrum Master Certification Course
Expand beyond classic product/project paradigms and learn why agile/scrum works.
Understand Scrum • Use Agile Metrics and Reports • Apply Adaptive Planning

The Scrum Framework is all a foundational concept that makes up the core of scrum knowledge. A review the three areas that impact an organization most is critical to understand the different Scrum Roles, Artifacts, and Meetings. Read Advanced Topics in Scrum to get an in-depth appreciation for the nuances of scrum.

Why?
Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. 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. Accepted course participants learn how to be a ScrumMaster and how to make a development team, a project, or an organization agile. The ScrumMaster is responsible for the proper execution of the Scrum framework, and manages the resulting changes within the organization. Exercises, case studies, simulations and experiences are used throughout the course to bring home the realization of how Scrum can work. We will also show how the roles of ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Team form a critical tripod for effective agile development. All participants are expected to understand Scrum basics prior to attending this course.

Robust Simulation: The 59-minute Scrum Simulation. This popular exposure to Scrum asks us to work on a short project that lasts for just 59 minutes! Walk through all of the key steps under the Scrum framework as we work in project teams to deliver a new product.
Scrum Roles: Who are the different players in the Scrum game? Review checklists of role expectations in preparation for further detail later in our session.

The ScrumMaster must become a coach who is looking to mature, tune and protect the productivity of the team. Investigate team behaviors that can be manifested for the various behaviors exhibited by teams of different compositions.
