Agile Scrum, also known as Agile Project Management, is a flexible, interactive method of managing design and execution activities across engineering, information technology, and new product or service development initiatives. We provide a comprehensive 3-day instructor-led Agile Scrum Master training program, along with a flexible 6-evening option, specifically designed to prepare you for the Professional Scrum Master I certification exam administered by Scrum.org. Additionally, we offer a 2-day standard course or a 4-evening alternative to help you prepare for Certified Scrum Master credentials from Scrum Alliance. Note: Certification examination costs and course materials are separate from the class tuition; however, these may be covered if you're enrolled in an extended training program.
