Online, July 15, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Conscires Agile Practices, the Irvine-based organization specializing in Agile and Scrum training, is hosting a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) training by Carlton Nettleton in Irvine, CA, on Aug 27-28. An early bird price of $200 off is available on this training if registered before July 27. Four or more people registering as a group can take advantage of the group discounts ($325 off per person).

This 2-day course leverages the wide-ranging knowledge and experience of the participants, so a significant amount of this course will be spent in peer-to-peer interactions, hands-on activities and drawing connections between the classroom material and day-to-day experiences. This course will equip the participants with the knowledge on how to facilitate Scrum in their teams and begin the process of change in their organization.

The course covers the five values of Scrum and the eight essential Scrum principles, the Scrum framework (including meetings, roles and artifacts), the rights and responsibilities of each role in Scrum (Team member, Product Owner, ScrumMaster and stakeholder), understanding what Scrum means to each individual and what it will mean to be a ScrumMaster in an organization, watching Scrum in action (as the framework of Scrum will be used to deliver the course material), identifying the main obstacles to using Scrum in an organization, applying ScrumMaster skills to solve real life problems and passing the Certified Scrum Master assessment from Scrum Alliance.

All CSM courses are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers. Taking a CSM course and the corresponding evaluation designates you as a Certified ScrumMaster, which indicates that you have been introduced to the basic concepts you need to perform as a ScrumMaster or team member on a Scrum team. This course also satisfies two elements of the CSD track: Scrum Introduction and Elective.
