ScrumMaster Certification Seminar by John Stenbeck's PM8020.COM Practical Learning and Exam Prep
Two days from 8:30AM - 5:30PM

 

Description	Agile Project Management is a skill set that is rapidly growing into high demand across many industries.  The most respected and best recognized Agile certification is the “ScrumMaster” from the Scrum Alliance, Inc.  The new certification assessment system from the Scrum Alliance requires PMs to (a) take a class from a Certified Scrum Trainer, (b) pass an exam to measure the knowledge and experience of individuals who wish to become Certified ScrumMasters, and (c) complete an application and pay the appropriate fees.  By taking this certification seminar you will acquire all of the information needed to successfully complete the certification examination and application process!  We hope you’ll make it a priority to join us. This 2-day class is suitable for anyone using or wanting to use the art of the ScrumMaster.  It is also very valuable for anyone involved in Scrum (Managers, Team Members, Product Managers, etc.).  This program is for people who are familiar with basic Agile concepts but students are not required to be PMPs.  During this seminar participants experience highly interactive, hands-on training in how to apply Scrum in many project situations. Exercises, case studies, and examples provide mastery of how to be a ScrumMaster.  After successfully completing this class, participants will receive a 1 year prepaid membership in the Scrum Alliance and are eligible to take the Certified ScrumMaster exam   About the instructor: Jesse Fewell is an Enterprise Agile Coach with a broad array of experience in industries that include National Security, Aerospace, GIS, Stock Media, Telecom, and Hospitality.  He was a founding force behind the PMI Agile Community of Practice; PMI’s component dedicated to Agile Project Management.   A sought after speaker for Agile, Scrum, and PMI conferences, he is employed by the international firm RippleRock, helping business succeed with technology projects.  Currently, Jesse serves RippleRock’s multinational clients in India as well as the broader practitioner market in South Asia.  A graduate of John Hopkins University, he is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST).   About the content: You will learn the mechanics of Scrum – the roles, artifacts and processes – as well as practical approaches to Agile principles and ethos at the heart of Scrum for increasing productivity.  You will also learn about:   • How self-organizing teams work • Backlogs and how to use them • Delivering in vertical increments • Real control with empirical feedback • Scaling Scrum without breaking it Course outline: Overview:  Why Scrum works!  Sprints: • Potentially shippable • Architecture on a Scrum project • Sprint length and Release Sprints • Abnormal terminations Product Backlog: • Applying viable User Stories • Story writing exercise • INVEST in the backlog • ScrumMaster responsibilities Sprint Planning: • Prioritizing and Sprint Goals • Sprint Planning Guidelines Release Planning • Velocity • Estimating the Backlog • Release Planning Guidelines Meetings: • Planning Meetings • Daily Scrums • Reviews & Retrospectives Scalability: • The Scrum of Scrums (SoS) • Shared vs. Specific Backlogs • Distributed teams Tracking Progress: • Burndown Charts • Task Boards
