Certified ScrumMaster
Who Should Attend and PrerequisitesThis course is suited for people who have experience being on development teams or are faced with complex product/project development efforts. Individuals from all levels of the corporate structure who deal with rapidly changing demands and complex efforts. Managers, Testers, PM, Analysts, Developers, managers, directors, C-level functions Participants should have some familiarity with Agile, either by attending the Intro to Agile Methods training course or through practical Agile experience.When and WhereWe offer both public and private forms of these courses. Our public courses are typically held in convenient hotels, conference centers or at specialized training facilities within easy access to major airports. Our private courses are often tailored to suit team needs.Why?Agile project management is as radically different from traditional project management as agile processes are different from traditional methodologies. Rather than plan, instruct and direct, the agile project manager facilitates, coaches and leads. In the agile framework known as Scrum, this person is called a ScrumMaster to denote the difference and remind the person filling this role of their new responsibilities. Accepted course participants learn how to be a ScrumMaster and how to make a development team, a project, or an organization agile. The ScrumMaster is responsible for the proper execution of the Scrum framework, and manages the resulting changes within the organization. Exercises, case studies, simulations and experiences are used throughout the course to bring home the realization of how Scrum can work. We will also show how the roles of ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Team form a critical tripod for effective agile development. All participants are expected to understand Scrum basics prior to attending this course.Why 3Back?It is vital that today’s agile practitioners be able to retain what they have learned and apply it to their jobs. Our training leverages modern adult learning with both robust simulations and discussion. We train so that participants can put the ideas presented to practical use: your results are our validationAgendaThe course is an intensive interactive session designed to leverage your experiences so that you can learn the practice of Scrum in the context of what you know.

We offer seminars and executive briefings on agile software development. These are content filled seminars and are the pedigrees of the same high quality seminars we deliver at conferences nationwide.
Formats Delivery Mechanisms If this is delivered presented to a large audience (50+) then it would be classic presentation with light Q&A encouraged throughout. Our preference is to break this up into small group discussions (5-7 at a table) and then shift back to larger group summary. This format allows participants to personalize the information presented with a stronger feeling of value. One presenter can orchestrate this well only for groups less than 45. Ideal, would be to add a co-presenter for delivery. Then we would demonstrate agile behaviors through an interactive dialog and we could handle a larger number of people with small group discussion break out and large group summary (60-70 folks with small group discussions and large group sumamry). Groups larger than 70+ would be done via a lively interactive dialog with the two presenters and light Q&A from the audience. |
