The Certified SCRUM Master (CSM) Credential
This hands-on certification course is appropriate for all software team members, including Project Managers, Team Leads, Development Managers, Product Managers, Software Architects, Systems Architects, Testers, CIOs, and CTOs.
The scrum master certification is the next step in the PMI ®– Agile alliance to make the project managers and project team approach the execution of a project in the most logical and optimum way. Scrum is a methodology that is based on activities broken down by logical workflows. Scrum is an iterative incremental framework for managing complex work (such as new product development) commonly used with agile software development.
Although Scrum was intended for the management of software development projects, it can be used to run software maintenance teams or as a general project/program management approach.
The Advantages of a CSM® Credential
Though relatively less popular than the PMP certification Scrum is fast becoming popular in the field of project management as an adaptive technology. Whereas the PMP certification is focused on processes Scrum relies heavily on specific steps geared towards effective execution. It is currently one of the fastest growing project management certifications in the IT/Software development industry.
