Brian is the host of The Agile Mentors Podcast and partner with Mike Cohn on creating classes and content for Mountain Goat Software. Brian has begun teaching classes on his own in order to focus on the intersection of AI and Agile as well as the next evolution in the world of work: moving beyond process optimization to human optimization.
Please note the requirements from Scrum Alliance to earn the A-CSM certification:
You can attend the course before meeting the 12-month experience requirement, but the A-CSM certification will only be issued by Scrum Alliance once all requirements (CSM cert, course completion, and 12+ months logged experience) are met.
The A-CSM goes beyond the fundamentals, focusing on the facilitation, coaching, and leadership skills needed to help Scrum Teams achieve higher levels of maturity and effectiveness. We explore how to navigate complex challenges and drive continuous improvement.
This isn't just the next step on the certification path; it's about developing the sophisticated skills to handle team dynamics, organizational impediments, and scaling challenges, becoming a truly impactful Scrum Master and change agent.
We'll explore advanced techniques and how the evolving landscape, including AI, influences the Scrum Master's role in fostering high-performance.
Master techniques for facilitating dialogue, decision-making, and conflict resolution between team members, stakeholders, and management.
Develop your ability to effectively coach and mentor team members, Product Owners, and stakeholders towards greater agility.
Understand how Scrum interacts with scaling frameworks and DevOps practices to improve flow and value delivery across the organization.
Learn to identify and address organizational impediments, foster continuous improvement, and navigate change effectively.
