Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster Training Detroit Michigan

Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster Training with Michigan Technology Services

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster (CSP-SM) training, as well as other Agile and Scrum courses, through a partnership with a Scrum Alliance authorized Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and Path to CSP educator with extensive Agile and Scrum experience.

In a pre-Covid world our training would take place at our location in the Farmington Hills/Novi area, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or at your location anywhere around the world. Our Agile workshops and Agile coaching sessions are now offered online/virtually, reducing your need to travel.

Note that while many CST’s fly into metro Detroit to deliver a class, and then leave, we live here and support the local Agile community. We continue to sponsor regional Agile conferences and local Agile and Scrum meetups. We have strong ties to Agile companies in the metro Detroit area. We have successfully run this CSP-SM workshop before for a number of Advanced Certified ScrumMasters.

What is Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster (CSP-SM) training?

Certified Scrum Professionals challenge their teams to improve the way Scrum and Agile principles are applied. They have demonstrated experience, documented training, and proven knowledge in Scrum.

Our Certified Scrum Professional®-ScrumMaster (CSP®-SM) workshop is a two-day deep dive into the world of Scrum and the role of a professional ScrumMaster. The class provides a probe into Lean Thinking, visual facilitation techniques, remote teams, and more. We will examine the relationship of the ScrumMaster to the product owner, the team and the organization.

Are you ready to take your knowledge and skillset in your role as ScrumMaster to the next level? If so, it’s time to elevate your career further by earning the Certified Scrum Professional®- ScrumMaster (CSP®-SM) certification.

Student Successes

The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

- SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

- SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

- Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students. It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

- De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
