Scrummaster Certification - 2 Days - Omaha, Ne

What is a ScrumMaster?An agile project manager emphasizes facilitation, leadership and communication over traditional command-and-control activities. In the Scrum framework, this role is called "ScrumMaster" as a constant reminder of the differences between agile and traditional project management. The ScrumMaster's role is to maximize the team's efforts toward its goals while removing the impediments that stand in its way. Why this specific workshop? That's easy: This is a unique, simulation and exercise based workshop rather than death by PowerPoint. Most attendees notice these differences from other courses they have taken: No boredom: fewer than 50 PowerPoint slides are used during the two days (and most of those are a picture and a few words!)Learn by doing: there are approximately 20 different exercises and simulations used during the workshopHigh knowledge retention: Using accelerated learning techniques the workshop material is presented in ways designed to maximize learning AND retentionWhys before hows: workshop explores the principles and values which drive success before getting into successful practices - which allows attendees to understand the practices at a much deeper levelFun: every part of the course is designed to keep attendees engaged and having fun while learning the material Add all this up and this workshop is one you shouldn't miss.Upon completing the course attendees will receive an email instructing them to set up a profile on the Scrum Alliance website and optionally take a short CSM exam. Upon completion of those items a participant will be recognized as a Certified Scrum Master (CSM) by the Scrum Alliance. Learning ObjectivesYou will learn more than the basic Scrum framework.
