His leadership coaching work at Concepts & Beyond includes leading a cloud transformation across 250 complex workloads that saved one of the world's largest banks over $100 million by building a network of cloud champions who drove adoption peer-to-peer rather than through mandate. At MarketAxess, he helped restructur a 100-person Product Management division from scratch so that PMs report directly to the CEO enhancing the voice of the customer. At Alkami, he coached an SVP of Technology and 50+ Product Managers through a testing transformation that cut production incidents and escape defects by helping create a vision, use emotional intelligence to listen to challenges and motivate the organizaiton to deliver quality products at a rapid pace.

Helped train and coach global digital teams of 2000+ people rapidly deliver quality products and dramatically improve customer satisfaction

From recent cohorts
Great course and a very engaging instructor. I especially appreciated how he incorporated AI into the Product Owner curriculum in a practical, relevant way...
I took the CSPO® training (2 days) with Anil Jaising, who made the class super interactive and fun with real-life scenarios, examples, and ran the training itself like a 2-day sprint...
Most of our A-CSMs come back for the full journey.
A-CSM is the foundation. The Scrum Master Journey adds A-CSM and our new AI for Scrum Masters module — the same content, a 15% saving, and a cohort that stays together for weeks, not just one course.

To receive the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) certification, you need to have a current Certified ScrumMaster certification with the Scrum Alliance and have 1 year of work experience as a ScrumMaster in the last 5 years, and satisfactorily complete an accredited A-CSM program like ours.
The 12 months of work experience specific to the role of Scrum Master or Product Owner can be met at any time once you’ve attended an A-CSM or A-CSPO course. The work experience must be within the past five years.
The cohort-based program is part of a team-based training where you will be taken through a scrum master journey from teaching scrum to stakeholders to creating a roadmap that suits your organization. In addition to self-paced tasks, the learner will participate in a weekly one-hour session to complete the certification within 4 to 6 weeks. The four sessions will consist of live training.
As soon as you join you will be invited to join our learning academy to start the pre-work and the dates for the cohort sessions will be as per your registration page.
