Who Should Attend

The CSM is often the launching point on an agile journey irrespective of role

The CSM is the defacto training to checkpoint or start an agile journey allowing you to learn practical skills to enhance agility. Although it is titled "ScrumMaster" it is applicable irrespective of role or planned role. As such, attendees come from a wide variety of backgrounds:

  • Scrum Masters and Aspiring Scrum Masters: If you're currently serving as a Scrum Master or aspire to become one, the CSM course is a great fit. You'll learn how to guide teams, facilitate conversations, manage impediments, and coach team members.
  • Professionals from Various Industries: Scrum principles extend beyond software development. Marketing, manufacturing, data science, HR, and other fields benefit from applying Scrum practices.
  • College Students: If you are in college and want to increase your job prospects upon graduating the CSM may be right for you.
  • Anyone Interested in Agility and an Agile Mindset: The CSM course emphasizes an agile mindset. Learn how to lead self-organizing teams, remove impediments, facilitate growth and apply the Scrum framework effectively.

After completing the Grow-Lean CSM, you'll be prepared to pass the CSM exam and continue your journey. If you want to perform better at work or expand your career opportunities the Grow-Lean CSM course is an excellent choice!

By taking the session you earn the right to take the certification exam. Once you pass the exam you are a Certified ScrumMaster.

The certification will help differentiate you , but more importantly the learning will allow you to interview with more confidence and apply core agile product development techniques in the work place. The session, plus actual work experience, will allow you to pursue the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) and Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster (CSP-SM) certifications.

Will this Training Benefit You?

You have other options and not everyone will benefit.

Appropriate use of agile requires a mindset and approach which may be different from what you are used to. Read the points below to see if the session is right for you.

If You are a Continual Learner

Our Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) course is designed for those who are ready to embark on a continuous learning journey in the field of Information Technology (IT) and other knowledge disciplines. Securing a high-paying IT position requires dedication and effort beyond the classroom. Our course provides a solid foundation from which to grow, not a final destination so you will need continued hard work outside the classroom.

If You Think Critically

Agility is about adapting to the context, and the context can often change, thus requiring the approach to change as well. If you thrive in environments where flexibility and critical thinking are valued over following rigid, detailed instructions, our session will be a good fit for you.

If You Embrace Nuance

The principles of agile are universal, yet their application can vary across different industries. This session is ideal for those who can embrace nuance and apply agile thinking to their unique situations.

If You Appreciate Constructive Feedback

We believe in fostering a learning environment where constructive feedback is a cornerstone. Our trainers are committed to guiding you towards the correct answers, helping you learn and grow. This requires that you be open to accepting feedback which may not match your current mental models.

In Summary

If you are the type of person who is always learning, and you are willing to apply critical thinking, work through ambiguity, look at nuance, and question your own mental models, our CSM will likely be of benefit to you . If not, you may want to consider a different certification or training provider.
