About this Program

[tabby title=”About”]

Learn the skills and techniques needed to become an Advanced Certified Scrum Master (A-CSM) through coaching and hands-on exercises.

The underlying philosophy in this program is that you learn by doing, and we use ‘designed scenarios’ as simulations to go through the ‘motions’ of analyzing and designing strategy for various real-life scenarios.

In line with this philosophy, our program is delivered in a ‘blended format’ – online video calls, offline activities, and team activities. We also conduct Townhall style discussions to provide you ongoing support. Hence, this program is loaded with Activities and Simulations. You will also be introduced to and asked to use various worksheets and Games as offline activities with your team.

Essentially, this program expands on the Certified ScrumMaster™ (CSM) certification to provide Scrum Masters and agile leaders with practical tools and skills designed to enhance their effectiveness in teams and organizations.

We are here to help you!
