ScrumMasters – A Heartbeat of Effective Teams
Effective Scrum isn’t just applying theory or process – it’s about creating space for a Team to collaborate and deliver value, effectively. Not just in person, but even when the interactions are virtual and online.
If you’re ready to learn Scrum in a fun and engaging way via pragmatic techniques you can apply immediately, this course is for you. From deep study of brain science and adult learning, we’ve learned what it takes to be effective in a virtual environment and avoid “Zoom fatigue.”
Get Hands – On Experience with Scrum
The workshop includes all the material required by the Scrum Alliance for its Certified ScrumMaster CSM® certification, along with stories, tips, tricks and practices to take the theory of Scrum and put it into effective action in your organization.
This course is not a Powerpoint snooze-fest. Short presentations cover concepts. Immersive team-based exercises are interwoven into each lesson to get you hands-on practice.
Beyond the basics, we also explore Scrum in action - facilitating team interactions, working with the team's Backlog of work, and getting work "Done" (or perhaps it's Done-Done)!
Get a taste of the engaging instruction style you’ll experience with the four hats of a scrum master: training, mentoring, facilitating and coaching
By the conclusion of this dynamic workshop – you will be prepared with the skills, knowledge, and experience to not only explain Scrum to colleagues, clients or interviewers, but also to put Scrum into action with your team.
Become a catalyst for change by helping your teams and programs apply these concepts to become resilient, learning organizations able to thrive in today’s emerging markets.

What Do Our Students Say About Our Class?
TrustScore 4.9
Excellent
"Anil (Concepts & Beyond) helped clarify several misconceptions that I had about Scrum and how to implement it in the role of Scrum Master. There were no boring lectures or pretty slides. The training was engaging, and the small group size made it all the better for me. He provided helpful resources too. The training was offered at a good price point also. I took the exam a day after the training ended and earned 100%. I also took the practice PSM I exam and earned 100% on that too as a result of Anil's high-value training."
Hope W

He was easy to understand, and the class flows very well. His explanations were easy to understand and the material he presented was very helpful in the exam."
