What have you found is the most effective way of training a Scrum Master?

Question

I need to train someone to become a scrum master. I have read so many books and articles over the years and everything is really available online.

Thus far I have been having regular knowledge sharing sessions with him but the client wants me to formalise these sessions in some way...which is counter the agile manifesto I believe.

Anyway, I am thinking of putting together a powerpoint deck which I can list these resources and then also use the agile coaching institutes competencies as a heading for each slide. e.g. teaching, coaching, facilitating etc.

Has anyone else got any better ideas of A) how to train a scrum master and B) how I could structure a powerpoint deck.

There is just so much information I could include but I don't want to overwhelm him.

Answer 1

If the Client wants formalised sessions then the best option is to go to a formal session from Scrum.org or ScrumAlliance.

https://www.scrum.org/courses

https://www.scrumalliance.org/courses-events/course

Both sites have a ton of resources for your slide deck.

Answer 2

Read and understand the Manifesto for Agile Software Development.

Read and understand The Scrum Guide.

Know the history and intent of the philosophy.
