Artisan Approach

The Certified Scrum Master (CSM) training is an intense course that will teach you everything you need to know about Scrum and will allow you to start making a different in the lives of your teammates. But after you’ve been a ScrumMaster for a year or so, you’re READY to take the next step. You’re ready to go from someone who knows Scrum to someone who knows teams. More than that, someone who knows how to help the typical team become an AMAZING TEAM.

Artisan Agility’s Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) course materials were called “the most comprehensive student materials” that the Scrum Alliance had ever seen! Artisan’s approach in creating the materials was to leave the CSM class FAR behind in content and value and create something much more extensive.

Given our success with the course materials, we’ve decided to take our experience with the classroom A-CSM and create an “OnDemand” offering. This offering includes:

  • All of the same self-study provided in the classroom experience. Video lectures to take the place of the classroom time.
  • All of the same information as required by the Scrum Alliance’s Learning Objectives for the Advanced CSM Certification.
  • “Homework” assignments that you take to work and implement, gauging your success, improving your teams, and learning as you go.
  • Regular LIVE Q&A sessions with a qualified instructor in a remote classroom setting.

This is the most powerful approach to advanced learning. You take as much time as you need to get it done (up to one year), you get to practice what you’re learning, and you get access to our instructors (both in live sessions and via appointments when needed) to clarify questions and improve your understanding.

When all of the assignments are completed, you’ve done it! Your certification is awarded.

However, when students leave our course, their understanding of leadership and the power they posses is forever changed.

Testimonials

Here’s what some of our clients had to say about us:

"I took a Scrum Master course and was completely impressed. Agile and Scrum are concepts that do not exist in a vacuum. Without real business contexts, and especially real software development experience, Agile doesn't mean much. It was Jim's ability to teach the material with his finger always on best practices that made the class a home run."

Pete Lunenfeld, Executive V.P., Registry Monitoring Insurance Services, Inc.

"I recently took the Certified ScrumMaster class. Not only did our instructor thoroughly understand the course material and knows how to teach it well but he also has many real-world examples to further enhance one's learning. I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot!"

Barbara Kroczak, Senior Program Manager, Riverbed Technology

"CSM training with Artisan was the best training that I have ever taken. The class was lively and interactive. They covered Agile fundamentals and material relevant to the CSM exam. They were not hesitant to take questions and had lots of examples from real world experience. I passed the CSM exam with an almost perfect score without help from any other sources."

Farhan Hamlani, Information Technology, E*TRADE Financial Corporation

"I had the pleasure of attending a 2-day seminar on Agile and it was fantastic. If you are looking to improve your understanding of Agile from someone who has done it (not just someone who read it) for years, Artisan is the one. I have attended many other seminars but none as plain and simple. Most coaches add an unnatural aura to Agile as if it were some mystic and ancient magic. Artisan presents these concepts in a dispassionate yet highly precise manner."

Bhagavan Jalli, Director of Design, Innominds
