Become a Scrum Master Certified (SMC™) professional and lead your team to success with ONLC Training Centers. Our Scrum Master training equips you with the skills to facilitate the Scrum framework, ensuring your team delivers high-value results efficiently. Choose between a live, instructor-led certification class or a flexible self-study On-Demand Scrum certification course to fit your schedule.
The Scrum framework is an adaptive, iterative process designed to drive change, deliver value quickly, and enhance collaboration. It's centered around Scrum roles, such as Scrum Master and Product Owner, essential artifacts, and structured sprint planning within defined timeboxes. Scrum empowers teams to break down complex projects into prioritized tasks, completed in short sprints for faster delivery and continuous improvement.
Scrum consists of five key stages: Plan, Do, Check, Adjust, and Release. In the Plan stage, the team defines clear goals and objectives, outlines tasks, and creates a timeline to guide their work. During the Do stage, the team completes tasks in focused sprints, delivering a functional product increment. The Check stage involves reviewing progress, inspecting the work, and addressing any challenges or issues that arise. In the Adjust stage, the team refines or modifies the product based on feedback and insights from the Check phase. Finally, in the Release stage, the completed product is delivered to the client or customer, ready for use or further refinement as needed.
This iterative process ensures continuous improvement and effective collaboration, driving results and delivering value.
As a Scrum Master, your role is pivotal in project management. You'll facilitate the Scrum process, manage sprint planning, ensure deadlines are met, and maintain communication with all stakeholders, including the Product Owner and customer. Additionally, you'll troubleshoot challenges, uphold Scrum best practices, and ensure a high-quality product.
Our Scrum certification program, accredited by SCRUMstudy, provides a comprehensive understanding of the Scrum methodology, covering its components, roles, and processes. Whether you're new to Scrum or want to elevate your project management skills, this training is your pathway to success.
