A Co-Pilot, Not a Replacement — and Knowing Which Is the Skill.
Some of what a Scrum Master does is preparation, synthesis and drafting, and AI is good at all three. The rest is reading a room, and it can’t do any of that.
Completing this class earns you the Scrum Alliance® AI for Scrum Masters Microcredential.
The Parts of the Job a Machine Can Take
The interesting question isn’t whether AI can help a Scrum Master. It’s which parts of the role it can take, and what happens to the parts it can’t when you stop practising them.
This is a working day: real prompts, real scrum artifacts, and an honest look at the risks — bias, confidentiality, and the quiet erosion of judgement.
- Which responsibilities benefit from AI, and which require a human in the room
- Prompt engineering applied to scrum events and artifacts
- Risk, ethics and bias in the tools you’re already being handed
- Choosing tools that fit your team rather than your vendor
- Building a personal framework for adopting AI without drifting
You leave with prompts you wrote, tested against your own team’s work.

The fine print
Agenda
One day, half of it hands-on. Bring a real backlog if you can:
What the job actually is
Focus: Before deciding what to automate
- The Scrum Master role, broken into its parts
- Which parts are synthesis, and which are presence
- Where automation would cost you something you need
Prompting, properly
Focus: The craft, not the tricks
- How generative models actually respond to a prompt
- A prompting framework you can reuse
- Prompts for planning, review, retrospective and refinement
Risk, honestly
Focus: The part vendors skip
- Bias and where it enters
- Confidentiality, and what you must never paste
- Judging output you aren’t qualified to check
Your framework
Focus: Adoption you can defend
- Choosing tools against values, not features
- Where to draw your own lines
- Taking it back to a team that didn’t attend
One day, live. Times are Central and are confirmed when the cohort is scheduled.
Training formats
Live and instructor-led, in person or remote. A microcredential is short enough to take in a day and specific enough that a day is the right amount of time.
A student handbook you keep, with the exercises and room for notes
The Scrum Alliance® badge on completion, and a 2-year membership with it
Risk-free guarantee
Satisfaction is guaranteed. If, for any reason, you are dissatisfied with the class by the lunch break, let us know and we’ll refund your class fees. No questions will be asked.
Prerequisites
None. Some familiarity with Scrum will help, but the class assumes nothing.
Frequently asked questions
When does this run?
It doesn’t yet. This class is on the schedule to be built, and this page exists so you can say you want it.
Tell me you’re interested and I’ll write to you when the first cohort has dates — before it goes on the public schedule.
Do I need to know anything about AI first?
No. The day starts from how these models respond to a prompt and builds up.
