The Certified Professional ScrumMaster (CSP-SM) is the final course on the ScrumMaster’s Path to CSP.  It is a highly dynamic, experiential and practical workshop, preferring directly applicable knowledge and tools over ivory tower theory.  It continues to build and deepen the advanced toolkit provided in the Certified ScrumMaster and Advanced ScrumMaster courses, leaving practitioners with games, exercises, simulations, facilitation tools, movies and more that they can use with their teams and organizations.

The exercises presented in this class are almost all completely original, designed from the ground up by LitheSpeed’s highly experienced consultants and trainers.  Every presenter of this advanced class has at least ten years of experience in high level agile organizational transformation in both the private and public sectors, and most are executives.  These same experts tune the class dynamically to your needs and situations.  No matter how advanced you might be, you will learn something in this class.  You will also leave equipped with new techniques and ideas that will help you boost your career and state of practice as both a coach and trainer.

Biggest Takeaway

When asked about their biggest takeaway from this training, here is what our trainees have said:

  •  All of the different ways to get teams to work together more effectively. In particular, setting objectives and having the teams come up with the metrics they want to monitor. Also, doing impact mapping and happiness metrics.
  • Systems thinking as a mindset for multiple aspects of my role as a Scrum Master and a few new geat online tools to use on a day to day basis.
  • Learnt a variety of facilitation toolkits and techniques and tools
  • I took away 5-6 new ideas and techniques that I absolutely plan to test out over the next couple months. This was more than I was hoping for, from this class.
  • A lot of good tools and reminders about how to improve teams, relationships, and processes
  • I will be using the stretch goals method whenever something comes into the sprint that doesn’t belong.
  • Introduction to Lean for me
