The course goes beyond the topics explored in the basic scrum master class by deepening the attendee’s understanding of the role through the exploration of the many stances of a professional scrum master.
This course is an interactive, experiential workshop where attendees explore topics through a series of exercises and discussions. The training is useful for anyone who wishes to validate their advanced knowledge of the Scrum framework, and delivering valuable products. Those who pass the assessment will receive the industry recognized certification to demonstrate their mastery of the content.
The scrum master’s role is multifaceted, requiring the practitioner to engage in behaviours and adopt mindsets beyond the core of Agility and the Scrum Framework. This course surfaces these behaviours by challenging the student to adopt several different scrum master stances.
This advanced training leads to a unique certification that combines agile principles and scrum practices with deepened knowledge about developing teams, managing products with Agility and evolving the agile organisation and culture
