Martine Devos' ScrumMaster Certification and Estimation Class (SCRUM-MD-01-02)
CODE: SCRUM-MD-01-02          DURATION: 2 DAY/S
Leading a Scrum team is radically different to traditional project management. Rather than plan, instruct, and direct, the leader of a Scrum team (called a ScrumMaster) facilitates, coaches, and leads.

In this 2-day ScrumMaster Certification course, we will cover the fundamental principles of Scrum, qualifying you as a Certified ScrumMaster.

In this intensive and highly interactive workshop, you will get the opportunity to learn to deal with the obstacles that confront Scrum teams. We will add practice to theory through a variety of exercises and take-aways to use with co-workers.

Upon successful completion of the course, each participant is enrolled as a Certified ScrumMaster, which includes a two-year Scrum Alliance membership, where additional ScrumMaster-only material and information is available.

More importantly, upon completion of this workshop, you'll leave with an understanding, gained through hands-on team practice and exercises, to share your experience with your colleagues, help your teams to execute Scrum efficiently and productively and to put Scrum in practice and succeed with it.

Delegates will also receive a copy of Agile Software Development with SCRUM during the course.

PMI members can claim up to 14 PDU's upon completion of this course.
