After attending the Open Space with people who practice Scrum for a living, some of the Certified Scrum Trainers (including me) got together with Ken Schwaber to discuss current updates within the Scrum community.

One of the things Ken Schwaber handed out to all Certified Scrum Trainers in attendance is the list of items that each CSM Course is required to cover.

Each Certified Scrum Trainer has a different way of presenting the material, but all of us need to cover the items discussed in the list that follows. I am sure others will use it as a marketing technique to help try and "differentiate" their classes (or workshops)... but we have all be told the same thing from Ken. It is already making its way up on the web today and the source of this information is Ken Schwaber.

As a Certified Scrum Trainer, I will follow this guidance when teaching and mentoring on a daily basis.

As the creator of this site, I will make sure and continue to work with Tony (the artist) to convey how these thoughts -- and others -- can be implemented by you on a regular basis.

Oh... AND DO NOT consider it a cookbook!
