COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Advanced Certified ScrumMaster® (A-CSM®) training is an advanced immersive experience into the world of Agile and Scrum from the perspective of the ScrumMaster. The A-CSM builds upon the foundational knowledge from the Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM) and covers every aspect of Scrum Mastery from coaching teams, organizations and Product Owners to facilitating conversations and increasing engagement to encouraging greater accountability. Following the course, as a Scrum Master you will be able to respond confidently to any situation, understanding the context and having tools readily to hand to address the issue.

Applying the Scrum framework requires changing our habits and our intuitive way of working. As a Scrum Master, it also means changing how we communicate with and work with stakeholders. IncrementOne’s interactive classes, whether online or in-person, are built around a simulation exercise in which attendees work together on a team to define a new product. You will discover coaching and facilitation techniques that can be applied to organizations and teams adopting Scrum.

Our classes are designed to maximize engagement, understanding and retention, blending lecture and classroom discussion with exercises, games and simulations. Using Scrum to teach the class allows us to role model the Scrum framework, while managing the pace of the class while taking time to move and refresh our brains to stay focused throughout the day.

One of the best courses I've attended. It helped me understand better the concepts have read and even lived through the lens of the Scrum framework.

Natasha H., Senior Business Analyst, Metals and Mining Industry

CSPO

Dave's course is clearly the gold standard for Agile training. I will be back for more. I've taken several other product owner courses and training in this subject, and although they were helpful, the methods and execution of this course raised the bar in a major way.

Al S., Scrum Master/Agile Coach, Telecommunications Industry

A-CSM

A-CSM with Dave is a beautiful opportunity to bring your scrum knowledge to another level. With a group of other experienced scrum masters, you have the opportunity to talk about the wicked topics that you always wanted to get insights/answers on that are real-world related.

Jill B., People Relationship Manager, Insurance Industry

Learned a lot and had a really great time with the two-day Advanced CSM training with Dave. I like how well-organized the entire course was and how clearly each topic was presented.

A-CSM with Dave is a beautiful opportunity to bring your scrum knowledge to another level. With a group of other experienced scrum masters, you have the opportunity to talk about the wicked topics that you always wanted to get insights/answers on that are real-world related.

The course was very informative provided a lot of insights and gave ideas on how to solve real-life problems, it is made out of scrum master experience and not only theories that can not be applied, well done.

Dave is a fantastic trainer, uses real-life experience and examples to convey his point which resonates with most of us who have been agile practitioners.
