SEMO to Host Scrum Master Certification Workshop February 20 & 21

Southeast Missouri State University's Economic and Workforce Development Department is hosting a Scrum Master Certification (SMC) on February 20 and 21. This immersive two-day workshop prepares participants to earn the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) credential, a globally recognized certification from Scrum Alliance.

Ideal for professionals in project management, IT, leadership and other team-driven fields, the SMC program provides a practical understanding of the Scrum framework and its applications in tackling complex problems. Scrum, an agile project management methodology, is widely used to streamline workflows and enhance productivity across industries. A Certified Scrum Master serves as a team facilitator, ensuring that Scrum principles are effectively applied to achieve project success.

"Employment and training in the technology industry are continually evolving," said Dan Presson, assistant vice president of economic and workforce development at SEMO. "Advancing your career through education and certifications can make a significant impact. This in-person training offers an excellent opportunity for professionals in southeast Missouri to enhance their skills, strengthen their credentials, and build their resumes."

Held at Catapult Creative House in Cape Girardeau, this program emphasizes collaboration and real-world application, making it a valuable professional development opportunity. Upon completion, participants will be eligible to take the Certified Scrum Master (CSM) exam online. Course registration includes exam fees and a two-year membership with Scrum Alliance. Those who pass will earn the CSM designation, valid for two years.
