Course Details
This 2-day class is suitable for anyone who can benefit from the course, including ScrumMasters, Agile Coaches, Product Owners, product managers, facilitators, team members, leaders, and others in the organization who are looking to grow their skillset.

- Have an active CSM certification with the Scrum Alliance.
- Complete the A-CSM course (e.g. this class) via a Scrum Alliance approved trainer.
