The Scrum Alliance Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) is for individuals with agile experience, who have their Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM) certification, that want to expedite their journey to greater agility on the Scrum Alliance Path to CSP.
Via the CSM you were introduced to Scrum values, roles, ceremonies and artifacts. Through your life and work experience you have learned that implementing agile can be challenging and that textbook agility is not the answer. We go deeper into agile at scale (SAFe, LeSS), empiricism, coaching, soft-skills, Extreme Programming Engineering, DevOps, and Kanban so that you can tailor your approaches to your circumstances to get the optimal mix of plan upfront versus plan as you go.
After the session you will be registered with the Scrum Alliance. If you have more than a year of agile work experience, have the CSM Certification, and complete this session, you will achieve the A-CSM designation, and be one step away from CSP-SM.
Upon completion of the course, students will understand agile necessities including:
- Roles: Scrum Team, Scrum Master, Product Owner, Development Team Member
- Events: How to modify Backlog Refinement, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review & Sprint Retrospective
- Artifacts: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Product Increment
- Other Frameworks: How Scrum works with DevOps, Extreme Programming, DevOps, and scaling models, including SAFe® and LeSS®
