Course Overview
This two-day ScrumMaster certification
course taught by Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainers provides
everything you need to get started with Scrum. One of the largest and
fastest-growing Agile project management frameworks, Scrum is a simple software
management technique that has a small set of interrelated practices and rules,
is not overly prescriptive and is able to produce productivity gains for
software development teams almost immediately.
This course shares time-tested practices
for managing product backlogs, planning your releases and iterations (Sprints)
and tracking and reporting progress. You'll learn how to plan and run Sprint
Planning Meetings, daily Scrum Meetings, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Retrospectives
and more!
On completion, participants are registered
as Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs), which includes a one-year membership in the Scrum
Alliance, where valuable ScrumMaster-material and information are available
exclusively to CSMs.
Also, on 12/11 we will be offering an
optional FREE half day (9am - Noon) Rally tool overview to all
attendees of this course. Please read the description below.
The CSM (and CSPO) training employs
low-tech methods to encourage collaboration and focus the work on understanding
the core Scrum practices. Thus, participants use flipcharts, stickies and markers
to create and track stories and sprint plans. And in the real world where
multiple teams need to coordinate, often across multiple offices and time
zones, organizations need high-tech tools that are built to support Agile
development. In this 3-hour add-on to CSM training, your Rally Coach will
demonstrate how the Rally Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tool can
support the Scrum principles and practices you learned in the first two days.
If you choose to participate in the Day 3
training session, you can expect to learn the following:
- How to manage and evolve the Product Backlog
- How to use Rally ALM to support Release Planning
- How teams track iterations in Rally ALM, generating burndown
charts
- How teams can create test plans in Rally ALM, track quality
iteration to iteration.
- How to integrate with other tools, such as Quality Center and
other testing tools or existing build or other development tools, to
provide robust reporting about the health of your product or project.
