As a Scrum Master you are the linchpin of the Scrum team. In this two-day course you work through Scrum games and a real Scrum project on the skills you need: guiding the team, removing obstacles and getting the organisation on board with working in an Agile way.
Description
In this two-day course you take a closer look at the role of Scrum Master within the Scrum method. Scrum is an Agile approach to project management in which communication, collaboration and short iterations are central. You first receive a general introduction to Scrum, after which the focus shifts entirely to the tasks and responsibilities of the Scrum Master.
You learn how to guide a Scrum team, remove obstacles and safeguard the process. You will also discover how to work with the Product Owner, how to facilitate the various Scrum events and how to get colleagues and other departments on board with the Scrum way of working.
The course is taught in the classroom by an experienced trainer and is set up as a real Scrum project. Through Scrum games you take in the material in an active and varied way, so that you gain practical experience straight away.

Result
After this course you will understand the Scrum method and know exactly what the role of Scrum Master involves. You will be able to guide a Scrum team, lead a Sprint planning, daily stand-up, Sprint review and Sprint retrospective, and you will know how to remove obstacles for the team.
You work smoothly with the Product Owner, are able to use the product and Sprint backlog and keep a clear view of the project's progress. You are also able to get colleagues and other departments within your organisation enthusiastic about Agile and Scrum.
You will have enough grounding to prepare further, if you wish, for the official EXIN Scrum Master exam, which you can sit online at home under the supervision of a proctor.
Target audience
Do you work as a team leader, project manager or senior team member and are you about to take on the role of Scrum Master? Then this course is for you. You are also very welcome if you are already working as a Scrum Master and want to deepen your knowledge. In addition, the course is suitable for anyone who wants to find out exactly what the Scrum Master role involves and how it helps a team move forward.
Teaching method
The course lasts two days and is taught in a classroom setting by an experienced trainer. During the course you work in the form of a Scrum project, so you gain hands-on experience straight away. You master a large part of the material through Scrum games: games that explain and clarify specific elements of Scrum. This makes the course instructive as well as varied and enjoyable to follow.
Because we work in small groups, there is plenty of room for questions, discussion and personal guidance. The content is tailored to the wishes and experience of the participants, so that you learn to apply the Scrum Master role to situations you encounter in practice.
Prior knowledge
You do not need any specific prior knowledge to take part. Some experience with projects or teamwork is useful, but certainly not a requirement. Are you interested in Agile and Scrum and would you like to learn more about it? Then this course is suitable for you.
Comments
This is a bespoke course: we tailor the content to the participants' requirements. Would you like to sit the online EXIN Scrum Master exam afterwards? If so, please indicate this in the comments field when you register.
In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
Language
The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.
