Advanced Certified Scrum Master Course

What you'll learn

You'll be better equipped to navigate the needs of your organization and teams with the skills you learn in this certification course. In this course, you will go beyond the basic scrum framework and acquire new skills and techniques essential for advanced scrum practitioners, including facilitation and the building blocks of scaling scrum.

Here are some of the capabilities you'll take away:

• Facilitate discussions between the product owner, scrum team, customers, stakeholders, and executives
• Coach, teach, and mentor teams and the entire organization in the use of scrum
• Address common challenges like resistance to change, low motivation, and lack of engagement
• Increase team involvement, accountability, and dedication
• Effectively scale scrum and agile practices beyond single teams

The degree to which the A-CSM course covers these topics, particularly the scrum master's responsibilities to facilitate, coach, and teach, is unparalleled. You'll discover an in-depth treatment of these topics in the Scrum Alliance A-CSM course.

Requirements

Pursuing the A-CSM certification requires dedication to ongoing professional development and a commitment to upholding the high standards of Scrum Alliance. To attain and maintain the A-CSM certification, you must fulfill the following requirements:

• Hold a Certified ScrumMaster certification with Scrum Alliance (your CSM can be active or expired. It will renew automatically when you earn the A-CSM)
• Validate 12 months of work experience as a scrum master within the last five years
• Successfully complete an approved A-CSM course, including any necessary pre- or post-course work
• Accept the A-CSM license and complete your Scrum Alliance membership profile
• Maintain your A-CSM by earning Scrum Education Units and renewing your certification every two years

Note: You may take the A-CSM course at any time after completing your CSM certification, but you must have at least 12 months of scrum master work experience logged into your Scrum Alliance profile before you can receive your A-CSM certification.
