What You Will Learn in CSP-SM Training

The one-day live training session includes exercises, demonstrations, facilitated discussions, games, and videos covering topics such as:
  • Agile coaching modes and assumptions
  • Theories of motivation
  • Advanced facilitation, non-open discussion, and inclusion
  • Strategies for moving from product vision to product backlog

Students are required to complete asynchronous assignments independently with consultation and review from the trainer. While the preference is for these to be finished prior to attending the live class session, students have up to six months post-class to finish them if needed. In their independent assignments, students will compile and demonstrate their knowledge in four areas critical to leading and supporting Scrum teams and the advancement of a culture of Agility:

  • Agile scaling
  • Lean thinking
  • Mentoring and coaching
  • Starting new Scrum teams
Students will also develop a Personal Development Plan that illustrates their intended path beyond the CSP-SM credential.
