Overview

Beginning with the history of agile development and moving through the disciplines promoted by Scrum, the Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) training course gives you a comprehensive understanding of the Scrum methodology while specifically reviewing the behaviors expected of a ScrumMaster. This two–day Certified ScrumMaster training course is suitable for those practicing or looking to practice the art of the ScrumMaster but is highly valuable for anyone involved in Scrum. Even projects that have solid, well–defined project plans encounter some degree of change and waste. Shifting market conditions, budget cuts, staff restructuring, or any number of influences disrupt the best plan while contributing to customer dissatisfaction and staff discouragement. Moreover, projects that begin with changing or unclear requirements make it difficult to establish project expectations. Scrum is the agile development process that allows teams to deliver usable software periodically throughout the life of the project, evolving with new requirements as the project proceeds.

  • Attend a face-to-face course taught by a Certified Scrum Trainer® (CST®), or receive private coaching from a Certified Agile Coach® (CAC™)
  • Have 14 hours of live online or 16 hours of in-person training with your CST, or 25 hours of face-to-face interaction with your CAC™
  • After successfully completing the course, you will need to accept the License Agreement to take the 50 question CSM® test that’s available in 13 languages
  • To pass the test, you must score at least 74% on the 50 question exam.

Reviews

The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.

It was very informative and covered all the required materials along with handson labs for practice.

This course gave me a clearer understanding of the AWS cloud architecture.

Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.

ExitCertified gave me some good trainings and I got to learn through doing labs.
