Don Patti was superb teacher. He did not waver in his energy for teaching SCRUM and Agile to the class. I took the CSM test today and passed with flying colors! It's worth the investment. I highly recommend.
The class was great! Don P. was a great instructor who clearly translated the concepts behind learning the ways of the scrum master. Overall I would highly recommend the class for anyone who is wanting to better the way they tackle product development.
DP from Grow-Lean did such an amazing job at keeping the class entertaining while packing in much needed information. He was thorough with eye catching visuals to help us remember pertinent information. I felt ready to take my exam after his class. Highly recommend to all who are considering Scrum Certifications (CSM).
The course was extremely helpful in preparing for the exam. Our instructor, Donald Patti, was fun and engaging and used relatable examples to explain the material. The test prep materials were extremely helpful.
I found Don's training to be incredibly engaging, thoughtful and fun! I was actually sad when it ended. Don's teaching, coaching, training materials and team exercises prepared me incredibly well for the exam. I took the exam less than 24hrs following the training and passed with a 98% score. I highly recommend Don and Grow-Lean!
The class was very knowledgeable and exciting. It was really refreshing to see the instructor coaching the team with interactive learning. The instructor was extremely helpful when asking questions about subjects we didn’t understand. Awesome Class!
100% satisfied and value for money. Well organised training with helpful materials. Polite emails for training guide and reminders; pre-training date.
The two-day class was very informative and interesting. Don ensured our class was engaged and kept things lively. The knowledge checks were great and helped affirm that we were indeed on the path to success! I’m happy to say, combined with the prerequisites provided before class and teaching style of Don, I was able to pass my certification exam on the first try!
DONALD PATTI is a great coach. His coaching technique is easy to follow and well paced. I was never distracted nor bored. Kept us alert and engaged! He is definitely a TOP expert for CSM!
Very knowledgeable. Fun exercises, made learning scrum fun! I learned so much! Would highly recommend! Gave away virtual prizes which was funny!
DP was an amazing instructor. He made the content very easy to understand by comparing the complex details to real world situations. I was very impressed by his knowledge and ability to effectively communicate/instruct.
This course was informational and enjoyable. Even though the participants had varying levels of work experience, Don Patti moved the course along at a great pace. He had SO MUCH content prepared, which allowed him to ask the participants which topics were of most interest to us and customize the activities to address those key topics. Don was a fantastic instructor!
Hands down the best virtual training course that I have done. Donald Patti's professionalism, preparation, dedication to course material, and engagement created the perfect learning environment. He facilitated an exceptional class that will get you across the CSM "finish line" with a beautiful new badge to add to your resume.
Instructor (Don Patti) was excellent! His energy was consistent throughout the course. He used Miro for course collaboration and Kahoot for knowledge checks. The course was well organized and I enjoyed it very much! I have no constructive feedback.
The instructor's clear and engaging explanation of the material. I appreciated the various ways of engaging learning e.g. the team projects and Kahoot games.
DP was superb. The class was fun, and he provided a lot of real life examples to relate on the topics. It was never a lecture.
Don (Donald) was incredibly well prepared with thought out presentations, great visual and interactive activities, effective quizzes all of which were tailored to the request of the group. I've been exposed to many great teachers and presenters and Don's experience and delivery put him in my top 5 favorite people to learn from. I'd highly recommend him as a teacher and a Scrum and Agile trainer.
I took the Scrum Master Certification course with Don Patti and it was fantastic. The 3 days went by so fast I didn’t even know I was in class! The interaction with the other students was great because it helped me learn even more. This was a fantastic prep course to take the Certification test. Don was a knowledgeable but fun teacher. I would recommend this course with Don for anyone wanting to prepare for the Scrum Master Certification.
DP is the best teacher - very engaging and supportive of everyone's learning. I was able to pass the scrum exam with a score of 100% within 24 hours of taking the course! The breakout sessions with our teams were really great and practical. Thanks so much!!
Don was very insightful. He kept me engaged the whole time and he didn’t just teach but he also had us do interactive scrum events. I feel confident after taking this course that I’ll pass the certification test.
I recently completed the Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) training with Don Patti and it was truly excellent. DP is an outstanding Agile coach. His deep knowledge, engaging style, and real-world examples made complex concepts easy to understand. His emphasis on servant leadership, team dynamics, and practical Scrum tools was especially valuable. Very insightful and practical session, highly recommended for anyone looking to grow as a Scrum Master!
Donald Patti is truly a Scrum professional. His class instruction is relevant and he provides real-world examples to emphasize concepts. The hands-on exercises with the class participants was the most enjoyable part of the course. After taking this course I feel confident in becoming a certified Scrum Master!
Don did an amazing job instructing the class over the course of a two-day period in preparation for not only the CSM exam, but to assume the duties of a Scrum Master at the conclusion of the course. I highly recommend Don’s course as he remains engaging and energetic throughout the class. I passed the CSM exam immediately following the course with a 98%.
Donald Was an amazing instructor! He keeps you engaged the whole time! He even stayed after the second day to answer the questions I had for him. The interactive portion of the class helped a lot to retain and remember the material. Highly recommend taking any of the courses he offers!
This course was absolutely amazing! Don provides learning that is organized and easy to follow. Don also includes relevant real-world training activities and plenty of hands-on practice. I highly recommend taking CSM with Donald J Patti!

Key Details
100% Live and Engaging
Live workshop with no slides and no PowerPoint. Master the Scrum Master role through hands-on exercises, real-world scenarios, and practical facilitation techniques.
30+ Exercises for Deep Learning
Exercises drive the session so you learn concepts in an engaging manner. Exercises are done in small breakout rooms and then the entire class reviews to ensure practical learning and skill development.
Go Beyond the Scrum Guide
A great Scrum Master does not just know Scrum. They give their team the tools and techniques to execute better. This course is built around exactly that.
Take Bill Wake's INVEST model (shown here). Rather than simply telling your team to write better stories, you will leave this course with a concrete framework you can provide them to evaluate and shape high-quality user stories. That is the difference between describing good practices and actually enabling them.
Throughout this course, you will build a toolkit of models, frameworks, and facilitation techniques you can share with your team immediately, whether you are coaching Developers, guiding a struggling Product Owner, or removing impediments that are slowing the team down.
You will also explore how AI tools are reshaping the Scrum Master role. From accelerating backlog refinement to surfacing impediments faster, you will learn how to lead teams effectively in an AI-assisted workplace.
No Myths, Fluff, Filler, Videos, or Slides
Our session has 30+ exercises and deep discussion leaving no time for fluff, fillers, videos and other non-value added content.
We avoid oversimplified answers and common myths. For example...
- No, you're not a secretary taking notes and booking meetings.
- No, you don't have to be a project manager in disguise.
- No, servant leadership doesn't mean being a pushover.

What You Learn
Coverage in the Certified ScrumMaster
The Agile Manifesto & Principles
A deep dive into the 4 values and 12 principles of the Agile Manifesto gives you the philosophical foundation you need to understand why Scrum works the way it does. You will explore what each value and principle means in practice, not just on paper.
Understanding the Manifesto deeply allows you to answer the toughest questions from your team with confidence and help your organization make better decisions grounded in agile thinking.
Applying the Scrum Framework
Go beyond memorizing the Scrum Guide. You will learn how to run Scrum effectively through hands-on exercises covering all three pillars of the framework:
- Roles: Help Developers and the Product Owner excel as a self-managing team.
- Events: Facilitate Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and the Retrospective with skill and purpose.
- Artifacts: Ensure the Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog are lightweight, actionable, and maximizing value.
How the Scrum Master Serves the Team
A great Scrum Master is a servant leader who empowers the team rather than directing them. You will learn how to coach Developers toward self-management, support the Product Owner in maximizing product value, and help the broader organization understand and adopt Scrum.
Through hands-on exercises, you will practice removing impediments, facilitating productive conversations, and creating an environment where your team can do their best work consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Things to know
The Scrum Master and the CSM Certification
The Scrum Master helps Developers and Product Owners grow as individuals and as a team, improving outcomes for everyone - the team members, the Scrum Team as a whole, and the entire organization.
Here's how a Scrum Master creates value:
Supporting Both Developers and Product Owner
- Enable self-management: The Scrum Master ensures teams have the autonomy and authority they need. For example, at Sprint Planning, Developers discuss options with the Product Owner, make final decisions about what enters the Sprint, and plan how work gets done - rather than being told what to do by managers.
- Address impediments: While Scrum Masters sometimes remove obstacles directly (like coordinating with other teams on dependencies), they more often help teams navigate around impediments and maintain quality delivery despite challenges. The key is never accepting barriers as inevitable.
Supporting Developers
- Foster self-management: Help Developers figure out what to work on and how to approach it, while staying aligned with the Sprint Goal - rather than waiting for instructions.
- Encourage cross-functional work: Create a safe environment where team members work outside their specialties (analysts testing, testers analyzing). This drives individual growth, increases motivation, and reduces risk from single points of expertise. The Scrum Master coaches collaboration patterns to overcome natural hesitancy about leaving comfort zones.
- Facilitate effective Scrum Events: Ensure events like the Daily Scrum are run by Developers for Developers, focused on creating better plans rather than just reporting status.
- Improve technical practices: Coach practices like Test First Development, Pair Programming, Swarming, and Refactoring to enhance product quality and team effectiveness.
Supporting the Product Owner
- Communicate a clear, compelling product vision
- Develop long-term roadmaps and effective forecasting
- Organize and prioritize the Product Backlog
- Apply evidence-based, empirical product development methods
Supporting the Organization
- Build understanding of evidence-based, empirical approaches across the organization
- Address structural barriers to agility (shifting from yearly budgets to continuous flow, functional silos to feature teams, and output metrics to outcome metrics)
- Create and execute long-term agility roadmaps
- Remove organizational blockers as they emerge
Not at all. While agile originated in software development, it has expanded dramatically across industries and roles.
Our CSM classes welcome:
- Career changers: Teachers, sales professionals, healthcare workers, administrators, and others transitioning into IT or agile roles
- Current professionals: Marketing teams, product developers, project managers, and business analysts applying agile in their existing roles
- Anyone interested in agile: If you want to learn collaborative, adaptive ways of working, you belong here
You don't need a technical background to become an effective Scrum Master.

Will this Training Benefit You?
This course rewards the right mindset. Find out if it's yours.
Appropriate use of agile requires a mindset and approach that may differ from your current approach. Read the points below to see if the session is right for you.
If You Are a Continual Learner
Our Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) course is designed for those who are ready to embark on a continuous learning journey across any field or discipline. Agile and Scrum are deep topics, and excelling in an agile role requires dedication and effort beyond the classroom. Our course provides a solid foundation from which to grow, not a final destination, so you will need continued hard work outside the classroom.
If You Think Critically
Agility is about adapting as the context changes. If you thrive in environments where flexibility and critical thinking are valued over following rigid, detailed instructions, our session will be a good fit for you.
If You Embrace Nuance
The principles of agile are universal, yet their application can vary across different industries. This session is ideal for those who can embrace nuance and apply agile thinking to their unique situations.
If You Appreciate Constructive Feedback
We build our sessions on constructive feedback. Our trainers are committed to guiding you toward deeper understanding, helping you learn and grow. This requires that you be open to feedback that may challenge your current mental models.
In Summary
If you are someone who is always learning, and you are willing to apply critical thinking, work through ambiguity, embrace nuance, and question your own mental models, our CSM will likely benefit you . If not, you may want to consider a different certification or training provider.
