Kurs: Certified Scrum Master CSM

What is Scrum?
Scrum is an agile, dynamic and result-oriented project management method used for the development of comprehensive software products. Scrum can also be used at organizational level as well as for realization of complex project in other areas ex. Marketing or Sales. The word Scrum originates from the rugby sport - after the ball is thrown, teams get in scrum position i.e. closely knit shoulder to shoulder in order to be able to win back the ball. Team building and self organization are thus the most important basis for Scrum.

The Scrum Master
The Scrum master is the key person of a scrum process. He is a mix between a guide, talent scout, diplomat and baby sitter. Talented with organizational and personal skills as well as stamina and unnerving optimism, a Scrum master is able to bring his team to reach their self-created goals with every Sprint. If you believe that this is not possible, we can prove the opposite: "Scrum up your life!" The ScrumMaster is a leader and a change agent on a mission. His mission is to make a Scrum development team successful. Throughout this course you can experience how to professionally take up this role.

Our vision for this course is that you learn that working together can create outstanding results and this is why we believe that Scrum is not only for teams but for the whole enterprise. During this Certified ScrumMaster course we will teach you how to make a development team, a project or an organisation agile and successful.
