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 teaching style. 5 things most people don’t know about the Definition of Done
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 placed us in Scrum practice without us even realizing it. The way the course is structured, its hands-on simulation while learning. I have never taken a class that held my attention and was fully engaged in each session"
"I passed my CSM the first time with Anil’s great course. He’s extremely friendly, attentive, and informative. His class material is very hands on, and he covers a wide range of material to help you get certified and gives you hands on advice on the world of scrum. I would recommend his courses to everyone!"
"I tend to get bored in training very easy. Not the trainers fault, just me. However, this training forced me to be engaged in documents, exams, videos and more which made it easier for me to attend to the coursework and resulted in a First Time pass for the Scrum Master Certification Exam. Highly recommend for those that need a high level of various interaction to stay on target. "
"I just completed the Scrum Master course with Anil. I could not be happier with my choice. The class was really engaging and interactive. A lot of exercises, real-life examples, material, and everything with no slides. Can you believe that? Anil is the best Trainer ever. His way of teaching is incredibly deep and easy, stick in your brain like his so-loved sticky notes. Thanks for the amazing training. This is just the beginning of the journey. Looking forward to learning more with A-CSM. "
