Valtech's Pragmatic Scrum Master training goes beyond the simple Certified Scrum Master (CSM) training to offer your team the real world techniques they will need in order to successfully participate in a Scrum based project.
This course assumes no previous working knowledge of Scrum other than what can be acquired through our Agile Foundations course. During these intense two days participants will collaborate on a series of Scrum based exercises that represent all key aspects of Agile project challenges. Specific areas that will be emphasized include:
Backlog creation and maintenance, Sprint Planning, Release Planning, Task Estimation, Retrospectives, Daily Stand-ups, Information Radiators
We will also discuss real world project 'smells' and give hard won advice on how they have been successfully addressed on other projects.
Scaling Scrum and interfacing with non-agile departments will round out our topic exploration. Each delivery of the class will, in true agile fashion, allow for the real time adjustment of student needs by emphasizing certain material relevant to your situation.

• Deep-dive into the Scrum Master Role
• Templates for Successful Agile Planning
