Course Methodology

  • We promise a highly engaging course that ensures high retention of concepts and theories.
  • Students are encouraged to work through the concepts rather than just listen to them—this provides better internalisation and retention.
  • Students work through a case study to simulate product development using the Scrum Framework.

Who should attend

This certification is appropriate for anyone who is interested in working as a Scrum Master or for someone who is already a Scrum master in his organisation. Scrum Master is an important role in any Scrum team and need not be a technology expert to be effective.

Moreover, although Scrum is popular in the IT industry, it can be used effectively across different industries. The SBOK® Guide, on which the SMC course is based on, can be used as an effective guide for implementation.
