Lean Agile Scrum Master Certification

With Certified Lean Agile for Project Management, you'll learn how to prioritize your work and develop more quickly while providing value early to your end user.

The Certified Lean Agile for Project Management course teaches teams to produce working products and projects in much shorter periods of time, with fewer errors, by managing the development cycle in a collaborative environment with customers, developers, testers and business leaders. You’ll learn to streamline your workflow by combining the artifacts of Agile development with the tools of Lean.

Participants not only learn the Scrum Master role, but how to run a successful Scrum team and all its roles, as well as how to lead multiple teams working concurrently on a development project. Plus, through hands-on simulations, we will complete two cycles of creation, practically applying the knowledge learned about Lean Agile and leading Lean Agile teams.

Organizations and product development teams are often overwhelmed with contrasting programs and competing priorities. They assume customer requirements are known and static—when they never are. Their workflow is full of delays, handoffs, rework and other forms of waste, extending lead times beyond what’s reasonable to compete or to meet strategically important deadlines. Not with Lean Agile.

The Certified Lean Agile for Project Management course teaches teams to produce products or complete projects in much shorter periods of time, with fewer errors, by managing the development cycle in a collaborative environment with customers and stakeholders.

In this course, participants not only learn the Scrum Master role, but how to run a successful Scrum team and all its roles. You’ll also learn how to lead multiple teams working concurrently on a development project.
