ADVANCED CERTIFIED SCRUMMASTER® Training [A-CSM]
We often hear the question "So what does a SCRUMMASTER DO?" when
working in organizations. SCRUMMASTERS ARE A CRUCIAL ROLE IN HELPING
TEAMS IMPROVE, yet they help in more subtle and lasting ways then
telling people what to do by positional power. One of the key
challenges is learning how to help bring people together to deliver
value, without taking ownership. Bringing people together goes beyond
getting consensus, getting to collaboration means tapping into the
knowledge and wisdom of the entire team. ADVANCED CERTIFIED
SCRUMMASTER (A-CSM) picks up where Certified ScrumMaster (CSM)
[http://agileforall.com/course/certified-scrummaster-csm/] leaves off,
helping ScrumMasters with the real day-to-day challenges of helping
teams and organizations grow and improve. Throughout the course, you
will use hands-on, engaging exercises to learn and expand your
knowledge. We will explore how to have challenging conversations,
confront and resolve conflicts, deal with impediments, address real
facilitation challenges, and uncover what drives you and your team for
long-term wins.
What is Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM)?
Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM), is a certification from Scrum
Alliance, that builds on the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) knowledge.
