ScrumAlliance Certified Scrum Master (CSM)

Now lets talk about some basics:

😄 Pre-requisites:

A pulse. Maybe. If you’ve mastered the art of breathing in and out, congratulations—you’re in!. No secret handshake, no PhD required. Just show up and try not to trip over your own excitement.

😄 Who Should Attend CSM?

🧠 The Overthinker: If you’ve ever turned a team meeting into a TED Talk about sticky notes… come on in.
🤹‍♀️ The Multitasker: Runs stand-ups, juggles Slack, updates Jira, and still has time to rescue the printer.
🔍 The Micromanager-in-Recovery: Trying to delegate but keeps checking the status “just in case.”
🛸 The Agile Alien: Heard about sprints, thinks it involves actual running. Come learn before you pull a hamstring.
🧘 The Calm-in-the-Chaos Yogi: You breathe through deadlines. We need your energy.
🙋‍♂️ Literally Anyone: If you’ve ever said “Scrum? Isn’t that rugby?”—you belong here.

No suit, no MBA, no idea what a burndown chart is? Perfect. If you can laugh, learn, and love a good sticky note, you’re already halfway certified. 😄

And did I say it’s not just for IT and software development… Any domain, any function… The learnings apply to all!

🕒 Time Commitment:
16 glorious hours of Scrum-filled enlightenment (spread over 2 or 3 days—because we do care about your spine and sanity).

Yes, it’s long. Yes, your coffee-to-brain ratio may be tested.
BUT we’ve got breaks! Enough to stretch, snack, strategize, or spiral quietly in the corner before emerging refreshed.

Think of it as a spa retreat… if your spa offered post-it notes, team puzzles, and the occasional philosophical debate over what “done” really means. 🧘‍♀️💻📎
