Presentation

Scrum project management is radically different from traditional project management. Rather than planning, control and direct, one of the roles of Scrum, the ScrumMaster, is to act as a facilitator within the team. Its responsibility, in the development of a product, is helping the team to work independently and continuously improve. Participants in this training which leads to certification, learn how to be a ScrumMaster.

This training enables to pass the examination for the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). A few days after training, trainees will receive by mail a link to validate their knowledge via the Internet. If they pass the exam, students can download their diplomas from the website: Scrum Alliance.

This is the only authorized training by ScrumAlliance for obtaining this certification.
