    What Is the Certified ScrumMaster Certification?UntitledYour Entry into Agile Delivery

    The Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) is the Scrum Alliance's foundational certification for professionals who want to lead and support agile teams as a Scrum Master. It validates your understanding of the Scrum framework, the Scrum Master role and the values that make Scrum teams effective. Invensis Learning's Certified ScrumMaster certification training in Australia is delivered live online by a Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Trainer and aligned to the current Scrum Guide, the November 2020 edition. Over an interactive 16-hour programme you learn Scrum theory, the five Scrum values, all five Scrum events and the three artifacts, then sit the online CSM exam through the Scrum Alliance portal. Whether you are moving into a Scrum Master role, shifting from traditional delivery, or formalising Scrum knowledge you already use in Australian IT, banking or government teams, the CSM gives you a globally recognised credential and a supported path to certify with confidence.

    Invensis Learning is aligned with Scrum Alliance to provide CSM certification in Australia. The training is delivered by Certified Scrum Trainers (CST) using official Scrum Alliance courseware and the CSM Learning Objectives.
