EXPIRED: Certified Scrum Master Course (CSM) New York + Workshop

Scrum Course New York City

The New York week is special. Our Certified Scrum Master course + Agile Release Planning Workshop approach is unique.  Unlike others, we always do a 2-day interactive Certified Scrum Master (CSM New  York) course plus a 1-day Agile Release Planning Workshop.

The CSM New York course provides an applied understanding of the Scrum process and will help you begin to develop the tools, attitudes, and skills required to apply Scrum on your projects and across your organization.  The ARP Workshop is optional, but highly recommended by attendees (details below).

The course covers the basics of Scrum and some advanced topics, so with that knowledge you will now be interested enough, motivated enough, and smart enough to go out and use these ideas effectively. You are not yet a master at Scrum Workshop New York, but you will have enough knowledge and skill to get started and be successful.

Choose from a variety of courses year-round on agile release planning, scaling with agile, certified Scrum Master course, and the certified Scrum product owner course. Two-day courses are 15 PDUs and 16 SEUs and one-day classes are usually 7 PDUs and 8 SEUs.

In addition to the Course/Workshop, you receive:

  • Recognition by the Scrum Alliance as a Certified Scrum Course New York
  • A two-year membership in Scrum Alliance.
  • A printed copy of the course materials (and a softcopy)
  • Fibonacci estimating cards, for use in estimating with your team
  • Other Scrum-related materials

Note: To become an official CSM, you must satisfactorily complete the Course and the CSM Test. The CSM Test is later, online, and takes about 1 hour.

Samples of What You Will Learn:

  • Practical, project-proven practices
  • The essentials of getting a project off on the right foot
  • How to write user stories for the product backlog
  • How to help both new and experienced teams be more successful
  • The basics of scaling Scrum, perhaps to large, multi-continent project teams
  • Tips and tricks from the instructor’s nine years of using Scrum in a wide variety of environments

The Agile Release Planning Workshop:

  • We always combine a 1 day Agile Release Planning workshop with the Scrum course New York.
  • The Workshop takes the real work of the identified Product Owner at each table, and we do the Agile Release Planning for that work.
  • It is an excellent way to take the ideas of the course and make them practical. It builds the initial product backlog. It gets your team ready to start on Monday.
  • You may take the CSM course only, but be aware that attendees strongly recommend the ARP workshop.
  • You may also take the Agile Release Planning workshop by itself. For example, at a later date.

The Trainer:

  • Joe Little, an experienced Agile coach and Scrum Trainer (CST), will lead this Scrum course.
  • Joe has co-trained 8 times with Jeff Sutherland (one of the co-creators of Scrum), and we believe you get more ‘real Scrum’ because of this experience.
  • Joe has an MBA and 20+ years of senior level Big 6 and related consulting experience.
  • Joe has in-depth practical experience in helping teams become very productive with Scrum and Agile.
  • He often co-teaches these courses with other great Scrum trainers. Take a look at Joe’s blog, Agile & Business.
  • Joe is a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) associated with Scrum Alliance.
