Class
CSM Certified ScrumMaster
Taught by Jeff Sutherland and Jochen Krebs
January 20-21, 2011 in New York, NY, United States
In this course, participants will learn how to stop thrashing and start executing along with everything necessary for getting started with Scrum. There are very few rules to Scrum so it is important to learn its fundamental principles by experiencing them directly from those who have implemented the best Scrums in the software industry. Participants gain hands-on practice with the release backlog, sprint backlog, the daily Scrum meeting, tracking progress with a burndown chart, and more. Participants experience the Scrum process through a “59-minute Scrum” and the "XP Game” which simulate Scrum projects through non-technical group exercises.

About the Instructors:
Jeff Sutherland started the first Scrum at Easel Corporation in 1993 and worked with Scrum Co-Creator Ken Schwaber, to formalize the Scrum development process at OOPSLA’95. In the same year, Sutherland provided Kent Beck background information on the creation of Scrum to help him create eXtreme Programming. XP engineering practices then evolved along with SCRUM and the two leading Agile development processes work well together. Scrum and XP are the most widely used Agile processes worldwide and their creators are authors of the Agile Manifesto.
Jochen Krebs is an Agile coach, consultant and trainer and founder of Incrementor, specializing in helping organizations with the successful adoption of Agile processes (Scrum, Lean, XP, and other iterative-incremental processes). For more than 15 years, Jochen has focused on Agile project management, leadership, organizational transformation and Agile development, including managing the Agile implementation at AOL, training and consulting across North America, Europe and Asia, and publishing several books and articles.
