"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 consists of a 4-day intensive workshop session in London, and an ongoing programme of self-learning, mentorship and community interaction. It may take up to one year to complete.
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. That's all. Your mentor is not your personal coach.
Individual Study
- Work through the ACSM learning objectives, discuss with mentor. Be confident that each learning objective is met
- Continue to study The Scrum Guide
- Read The Scrum Master Checklist by Michael James
- Read The Scrum Master Role by the LeSS team
- Read at least one introductory Scrum book, and discuss with your mentor.
- Write (or record/create) a book or workshop review describing how the experience informed your journey
Interactive Work
- Attend the three required workshops:
- Attend one Scrum Exchange event in London
- Participate in two or more Facilitator Labs
- Attend two or more scrum-related meetups
Review
The learning objectives will be validated by the mentor. Written/recorded work will be reviewed by the CST and/or the mentor. Students are free to publish the work on their blog, the Scrum Alliance website, or elsewhere to receive wider feedback from the community.
