Scrum for Project Managers

About the Scrum for PMs Class
This interactive 8-hour course is designed for project managers working with Scrum teams — or preparing to — who want to strengthen delivery predictability and stakeholder confidence.
​
Designed for project managers working with or transitioning to Scrum teams, this course assumes a foundational understanding of Scrum (roles, events, and artifacts). It’s a natural next step for those who have taken the CSM® or CSPO® training, while also welcoming experienced project managers who want to go deeper into topics not typically covered in those courses.
​
Learn how to translate your project management expertise into a Scrum context, where your role shifts, and where your value becomes even more critical. You’ll gain practical approaches to improve forecasting, increase transparency, and create the conditions for more predictable, value-driven delivery.
​
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
​
-
Increase confidence in delivery timelines and reduce last-minute surprises
-
Strengthen stakeholder trust through clearer forecasting and communication
-
Navigate the shift from traditional project management to Scrum with clarity
-
Actively support teams while aligning with organizational goals
