Why Take a Fearless CSM Workshop?
⭐️ Download the Fearless Scrum Dojo App to test your knowledge – Practice Mode and Challenge Mode available. (New features added regularly based on user feedback)
The app continues to sharpen your Scrum instincts to test against the Rule of 35 readiness benchmark — participants who can answer 35 Scrum questions correctly in the app consistently pass the certification exam.
⭐️ Small cohorts (max 24 participants)
Large classes turn into lectures. This one does NOT!
⭐️ No trainer roulette
You always get James “Jimi” Fosdick, CST. No last-minute substitutions.
⭐️ Neurodiversity-affirming learning environment
Clear structure, multiple ways to participate, and respect for different thinking styles.
⭐️ Learn Scrum by doing
Participate in a 1-day Scrum Project with a real outcome – no pretending or “role playing”!
⭐️ Understand Scrum instead of memorizing it
We work directly with the Scrum Guide and explore what it means in practice.
⭐️ Facilitation techniques you can use immediately
Leave with tools for guiding conversations, decisions, and team alignment.
⭐️ Focus on usable product value
The point of Scrum isn’t finishing tasks — it’s delivering something people can use.
⭐️ Real experience, not theory
Examples and exercises come from years of working with real teams.
⭐️ Become a Fearless Agilist
Network with a community of practitioners committed to improving how teams work together.
Upon successful completion of the course, attendees are eligible to earn their Scrum Alliance CSM Certificate by sitting for the online CSM exam provided by the Scrum Alliance.
If you do not pass the exam on the first attempt, we'll help you!
Expectations:
In Jimi’s virtual workshops, participants are expected to fully engage using Zoom and MIRO on a desktop or laptop (a mobile phone may also be needed, depending on bandwidth).
To create a supportive and effective learning environment, all attendees must arrive on time (no more than 15 minutes late), participate with an open mind, and treat everyone with kindness, support, and respect.
Attendance is critical—participants may not miss more than 45 minutes of content. Those who do not meet these expectations on Day 1 will not be permitted to continue on.
