    What You Will Master in the CSM Course

    Skills You Apply from Day One

    Here is what you will learn in the CSM course: the empirical foundations of Scrum, the practices behind effective Scrum teams, and the servant-leadership skills to lead delivery. By the end, you can facilitate Scrum events, manage the artefacts, and coach your team with confidence.

    Scrum Theory and Empiricism

    Apply the three pillars of transparency, inspection and adaptation, and the empirical foundations that let Scrum thrive in complex, unpredictable work.

    Living the Five Scrum Values

    Foster commitment, focus, openness, respect and courage to build the trust and psychological safety that make Scrum teams effective.

    Facilitating the Five Scrum Events

    Run Sprint Planning, the Daily Scrum, the Sprint Review and the Retrospective within their timeboxes to keep delivery focused and on track.

    Managing the Scrum Artefacts

    Maintain the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog and Increment with their commitments: the Product Goal, Sprint Goal and Definition of Done.

    Leading as a Servant Leader

    Coach the Scrum Team, support the Product Owner and guide the organisation through impediment removal, facilitation and change.

    Building an Effective Scrum Team

    Enable self-management and cross-functionality across the Scrum Master, Product Owner and Developers to deliver value each Sprint.
