anyone here a ScrumMaster?

[jxharding]

do you have certification?
How long did it take?
Costs involved?

Seems like its worth it when I look at what the market is looking for

I don't think it really needs a certification, maybe do project management? I was doing SCRUM / XP for years before I knew what they actually called it

Our SCRUMs kinda evolved into standup meetings. There was an initiative to switch to KANBAN (or whatever it is called from..the one Toyota uses) but that never really took off. Strange.

Any way, I've never really heard of anyone with accreditation for being a SCRUM master.

Its a requirement at some orginisations, some companies are really into it... the client I'm currently at has every single team doing it, the various application development teams, report teams, back end teams, bi teams....

A friend of mine actually does the training: http://growingagile.co.za/training/

I'm more a "Get the work done" type of person, so I don't steer myself much on the management side of how it gets done.

I R A SCRUM MASTAH!

On a serious note though youtube it there is amazing how to videos and pointers to get a feel for it.
You don't HAVE to go for formal training there is a lot of material on the web to get you going.
I plan on doing my certification next year January after my OCP.

You don't HAVE TO get formal training for anything You might just find trouble getting a job if its a requirement.
