Additional Details

The Scrum Alliance sets the learning objectives for the Certified Scrum Master training, but the trainer makes the class memorable and effective. Artisan has been providing Certified Scrum training since 2005 and has NEVER received a poor evaluation. Our instructors are highly professional and experienced trainers and coaches. We will do more than teach Scrum to you; we’ll work to motivate and inspire you to use Scrum to its fullest extent. Don’t be fooled by large, lumbering training companies that tell you that size allows them to innovate faster than everyone else. Just look at what one student just recently said:

“Jim Schiel was the best instructor that I have experienced…EVER! Even in a fully online course, Jim was 1000% engaging, spending the majority of the course with the presentation minimized and talking to us face-to-face. His presence and experience are unparalleled…”

Here are thoughts from other students:

• “Jim is a dynamic, personable, and energetic trainer. The depth of his knowledge and personal career experiences are interwoven into the curriculum bringing it alive, which gets the class fully engaged in their own learning. I highly recommend any class taught by Jim!”
• “He is a great instructor, keeps his students very active and engaged. Jim made sure everyone thoroughly understood the concepts of Scrum.”
• “I’d highly recommend Agile/Scrum professional development and organizational transformation coaching from Jim. I…really appreciated the fact that he focused on us becoming great agile practitioners.”

Sure, you’ll pass the test. But our training offers so much more!!! Through hands-on exercises and real-world stories, our students leave class ready to use Scrum to improve product development, product quality, and team productivity. Whether you are new to agile practices or a seasoned professional, you’ll leave this course with steps to begin using immediately to start seeing real results.
