Description
These five half day classes provide the
opportunity to earn two valuable Scrum certifications at
the same time which could potentially save you time and
money.
CSM: You will earn one of the most popular Scrum
certifications from the Scrum Alliance. The Certified
Scrum Master (CSM) seems to be the most sought after and
desired agile certification which is great for Project and
Program Managers who want to work with agile teams as
their Scrum Master.
CLB: The second certification being provided is
from LeSS (Large Scale Scrum). Certified Less Basics (CLB)
will help you work with your organization when they ask
how do we scale multiple Scrum Teams. There are many Scrum
Scaling Certifications and LeSS leverages it’s very strong
roots with Scrum. Less is very popular in Europe and it’s
very beneficial to know one or more scaling options since
every company is different and you will be able to
leverage and bring ideas back to your teams that you learn
from these classes.
Did you know that the research in Dan Pink’s renown book
“DRiVE” revealed part of why Agile works? In DRiVE the
core principle that Knowledge Workers – the kind you have
on your teams – are motivated by Autonomy, Master and
Purpose. If you want to AMP your team up, then be sure
they have Autonomy, Master and Purpose. Coincidentally,
Scrum and LeSS pivots to success by integrating best
practices that deliver those 3 elements.
You do not have to be a PMP or hold an Agile certification
to get great value from these courses. This learning is
formatted to combine the CSM and CLB training in just 5
afternoons.
*Please note: This is a live virtual class. For
certification eligibility, you must be in attendance
with your webcam on for the entire duration of the
class. To obtain CSM certification, you must pass the
CSM exam after successful completion of the class. No
exam is required for the CLB certification.

Instructor

Michael
James (MJ), was selected as a Scrum Trainer in 2006 by one
of Scrum's original proponents, Ken Schwaber. MJ has
helped countless organizations in many countries, created
the world's most popular online learning resource for
Scrum, the most successful illustrated distillation of
Scrum's definition, and the Scrum Master Checklist
referenced in books by half a dozen other Agile authors.
MJ is a software process mentor, team coach, and Scrum
trainer with skills in Product Ownership (business), Scrum
Mastery (facilitation), and the development team
engineering practices (TDD, refactoring, continuous
integration, pair programming) that allow Scrum to work.
MJ has been involved with LeSS (Large Scale Scrum) longer
than anyone else on the US West Coast. He is a recovering
"software architect" with programming experience back to
the late 1970s, and including control systems for aircraft
and spacecraft. If you have been an airline passenger, you
have probably already benefited from MJ's software.
Volunteers have found MJ's work useful enough to translate
into Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, German, Polish, French,
Russian, Dutch, Portuguese, Korean, Vietnamese, Czech,
Hebrew, Latvian, Serbian, and Turkish.
