"An effective Scrum Master must have the trust of others and the courage of herself to speak truth to power, as a medieval court jester was wont to do, often to the dismay of other advisors. Speaking truth will not make you popular." — from The Scrum Master Journey
Description
Phase 2 of the Scrum Master Journey is a 3-6 month programme of self-study, mentorship, work experience and community interaction, tailored for the individual learner.
The Advanced Certified Scrum Master (ACSM) certificate is awarded at the end of this phase.
Phase 2 Requirements
The participant must be able to prove one year's work experience as a scrum master to achieve the ACSM designation. It is recommended the work experience is gained in parallel with this course of study.
Entrance
Successfully completed Phase 1 of the Scrum Master Journey.
Mentorship
Identify someone to mentor you. Ideally this will be someone who is a little further on their Scrum Master journey than you, but it is equally effective to work with someone who is also undertaking phase 2 in parallel with you. Your mentor's job is to guide you through the ACSM learning objectives and other personal study requirements. That's all. Your mentor is not your personal coach.
Individual Study
The learning objectives will be validated by your mentor. Written/recorded work will be reviewed by the CST. Students are free to publish the work on their blog, the Scrum Alliance website, or elsewhere to receive wider feedback from the community.
Workshops & Community Interaction
Work Experience
