    Leading a Scrum team is radically different than traditional project
    management. Rather than plan, instruct, and direct, the leader of a
    Scrum team (called a ScrumMaster) facilitates, coaches, and leads.

    The 2-day Certified ScrumMaster training provides you with the
    learning and experience required to lead, participate in, or sponsor
    Scrum initiatives in your organization.

    Workshop Description
    Through a combination of immersive team-based learning, exercises, and
    real-world case studies, you will learn how to:
    Plan, initiate, and lead a Scrum project
    Establish a shared vision for the entire team
    Generate an agile release plan utilizing user stories and story point
    estimation
    Lead your Scrum team through planning, review, and retrospective
    sessions
    Create an environment in which self-managing teams can flourish
    Identify, enroll, and engage business stakeholders in your project
    ScrumMaster training provides an applied understanding of the Scrum
    process and helps participants begin to develop the tools, insights,
    and skills required to apply Scrum on their projects and across their
    organizations.

    Who Should Attend?
    ScrumMaster training is designed for the members of an organization
    who will lead, support, or participate in Scrum-driven projects; this
    includes:
    Project leaders
    Development managers
    Team members
    Product managers
    Pricing
    The cost of the two-day workshop is $1,295 US per person. This
    includes printed course materials, full access to ScrumTraining
    resource center, and a one-year membership in the Scrum Alliance.
