CSP-SM Certified Scrum Professional: ScrumMaster Course

CSP-SM - Certified Scrum Professional - ScrumMaster course is the third course in the ScrumMaster development series. It focuses on applying agility in organizations, leading organizational change, and deepening your coaching and facilitation skills. ScrumMaster is primarily an agile leader who can build a creative and innovative environment focused on collaboration.

“Experienced Scrum Masters are key to successful agile transformation, they help teams reach their potential, supporting innovations and productivity.”

It's designed for experienced ScrumMasters who started working with one or more Scrum Teams, likely participate in organizational change initiatives, can dig through to root causes, and need guidance in complex approaches to address them.

It's not any boring training full of PowerPoint presentations, it's an interactive workshop full of simulations, conversations, and sharing of real experiences.

You will meet experienced people who are on the great ScrumMaster journey, you find friends who will support you even after the class, as the class is just the beginning and the participants will organize coaching circles to support each other and enhance their learning. 

The class is part of the Great ScrumMaster Academy Program. The class is trained by Scrum Alliance certified trainer CST and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
