A-CSM Program
You will be able to put the historical evolution of Agility into perspective and understand it beyond Scrum. As an experienced Scrum Master, you will be able to identify and communicate how this mindset gave rise to different frameworks that are now considered practically complementary.
You will learn why Scrum is designed the way it is. The purpose behind the existence of each artifact and event with respect to empirical process control. You will be able to identify not only the most typical anti-patterns but also incorporate concepts that allow you to identify those not so well-known.
You will know how to facilitate any of the Scrum meetings and add some spice to them. All Scrum Teams will be grateful to you for efficiently facilitating their meetings.
You will discover the secret behind coaching. You will also learn training techniques and be able to differentiate facilitation, coaching, and training, knowing when to use which discipline as an advanced CSM.
You will learn the typical characteristics of high-performance teams, an actionable model for their development, and the different stages they generally go through and how to act in each of them. We will explore different technical excellence practices that you must know at least to perform successfully as a Scrum Master. From this, you will know how to foster self-management in the Scrum Team and how to provide coaching to maximize their potential and effectiveness as a team.
You will learn how to support Product Owners in the effective performance of their role. You will know how to involve them in Product Backlog refinement and the creation of a compelling vision. We will also discuss the implications of the latest modifications to the Scrum Guide regarding the product and sprint goals.
You will develop a systemic view of Organizational Agility. You will learn to interpret the dynamics of an organization in terms of product development and the adaptability of the system. With your advanced knowledge as a Scrum Master, you will be able to recognize localized optimization patterns that can hinder an organization's ability to achieve greater levels of agility.
You will become aware of the aspects that make up servant leadership and conflict resolution. You will put all the topics learned into perspective and be able to evaluate your level of expertise in each of them, charting a future personal development plan that shows you the way to continuous professional improvement.
What you will learn?
Agile facilitation, training and coaching skills that expand Scrum Masters' impact.
Techniques to build and improve robust Definitions of Done (DoD), increasing the quality and transparency of the Agile delivery process.
Agile scaling frameworks' foundation and the reasons why an organization might decide not to scale.
Organizational impediments to Scrum recognition and how to decide the best way to address them as an advanced Scrum Master.

I take with me a lot of knowledge. I loved the dynamics of the course, the techniques to assimilate knowledge, and the group/collaborative meetings. A very rewarding experience!

I was looking for a certification course that would allow me not just to earn a certification, but would open the door to a wide range of tools, techniques, knowledge and experiences, that would lead me beyond my comfort zone. The course met my expectations and made me go beyond what I expected...experience is not gained by reading books alone, rather by "rolling up your sleeves," and this is what I was looking for.
