Taught by the only local Austin CST, David Hawks. As one of the few Certified Scrum Trainers who is also a Certified Scrum Coach, David brings more hands-on expertise to the classroom.
Leading a Scrum team is radically different than traditional project management. Rather than plan, instruct, and direct, the leader of a Scrum team (called a ScrumMaster) facilitates, coaches, and leads.
Our goal is to change the way you think about building software.
Upon passing the CSM exam, you will be recognized… Show more as a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) by the Scrum Alliance. The CSM distinction is the first step in becoming a Certified Scrum Professional.
