Course Summary
This is a practical, two-day, live-online Certified ScrumMaster course for people who want more than a slide marathon. You will work in a Scrum Team, make real decisions under time pressure, build and inspect a product, adapt your plan, and reflect on what helped or hindered the team.
Along the way, Brock connects the Scrum framework to the human work behind it: creating clarity, facilitating useful conversations, supporting self-management, responding to impediments, and helping teams learn from experience.
Brock's promise: Expect an active learning environment with real practice, useful reflection, playful challenge, and grounded conversation. You will leave with a clearer understanding of Scrum and practical next steps you can use with your team.
“Hands down this has been my most memorable and impactful training experience! You will feel right at home! One topic after another my mind was blown - I kept waiting to be unmoved or disappointed: but it never came! Every session was incredibly easy to put straight into practice. I love the Superhero’s approach!”

Your mastery map
What You Will Learn and Practice
Eight connected capabilities take you from understanding the framework to using it with a real team.
Scrum foundations and empiricism
Define Scrum, connect it to the Agile Manifesto, and experience transparency, inspection, and adaptation.
Accountabilities and collaboration
Explore how the Product Owner, Developers, and Scrum Master work together to create valuable Increments.
Events, artifacts, and commitments
Understand the purpose and boundaries of Scrum's events, artifacts, Product Goal, Sprint Goal, and Definition of Done.
A complete Scrum simulation
Perform Sprint Planning, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective across three Sprints while building a product with your team.
Quality and technical debt
See the impact of an unclear Definition of Done, then improve quality and reduce surprises in later Sprints.
Facilitation and group decisions
Practice techniques that help teams form, make decisions, surface different perspectives, and move forward together.
Product Backlog work
Explore Product Backlog refinement, stakeholder collaboration, Product Owner authority, and the role of the Sprint Goal.
Impediments and true leadership
Analyze organizational impediments and distinguish when a Scrum Master facilitates, teaches, mentors, or coaches.
Learn by doing
How the Learning Works
Every concept moves through a deliberate learning loop, so Scrum becomes something you can reason about and use—not just terminology to remember for a test.
Experience
Enter a game, simulation, or team challenge before being handed the answer.
Reflect
Notice what happened, compare perspectives, and make the invisible dynamics visible.
Explain
Connect the experience to Scrum theory, purpose, boundaries, and practical choices.
Apply
Try again with new insight, adapt your approach, and carry the learning forward.
