Discounts

Options for your situation

Request your discount on the session (a class on date/time with a trainer) you want. If more than one discount applies explain in your comments.

You can pay in installments by choosing Splitit at checkout.

For Grow-Lean Alumni, log in or use your account email when registering, and receive an automatic discount. If you also qualify for another discount, request it, and, if your email matches, we know you are an alumni.

If you have a Visa or Mastercard credit card you can pay in monthly installments. There are no fees or interest if you pay on time! Your available credit must be enough to cover the full cost and there is a hold on your credit card for the amount that you have not paid.

For example, if your final fee is $999 and you choose three installments:

  • You would pay $333 today and have a $666 hold placed on your credit card.
  • The following month your credit card would be charged another $333 and the hold would be reduced to $333.
  • Your final payment would be $333.

If you are not familiar with the term "hold" this is similar to what hotels do when you check in, to cover extra expenses you may incur including the mini bar.

The benefit to you is that you do not pay any interest or fees if all payments are on time.

Agenda

Four-hour core, plus a 45-minute bonus lab.
Accelerate product development with AI.

1
Keeping Humans in the Loop
  • Decide where AI belongs in Scrum Master work and where human judgment must stay in the loop.
  • Build practical guardrails for team data, privacy, bias, transparency, and hallucination risk.
  • Separate AI-supported tasks from facilitation, coaching, trust, and protecting Scrum accountabilities.
2
Writing Better Prompts
  • Use role, context, examples, constraints, and critique patterns to get sharper AI output.
  • Run Scrum Master scenarios through GenAI, then inspect the output like a coach.
  • Build a reusable prompt library for event preparation, impediment analysis, retros, and coaching questions.
3
Strengthening Discovery
  • Use AI to support product discovery conversations alongside the team and the Product Owner.
  • Generate alternative options, assumptions, and risks to test with stakeholders and customers.
  • Pressure-test discovery output for bias, missing context, and hallucination before acting on it.
4
Help Your PO Refine the Backlog
  • Use AI to clarify, split, and sharpen Product Backlog items before they enter the Sprint.
  • Improve acceptance criteria, examples, and edge cases without taking the PO's accountability away.
  • Surface dependencies, risks, and refinement questions earlier in the team conversation.
5
Preparing Sprint Planning
  • Use AI to prepare Sprint Planning inputs: forecast signals, capacity considerations, and risk flags.
  • Draft a Sprint Goal candidate and a why-it-matters narrative for the team to refine and own.
  • Help the team produce a clearer plan without replacing the team's planning decisions.
6
Focusing the Daily Scrum
  • Use AI to keep the Daily Scrum focused on the Sprint Goal, impediments, and the next 24 hours.
  • Summarize trends across days so the team sees patterns without turning the event into a status meeting.
  • Avoid AI patterns that erode self-management or replace direct team conversation.
7
Improving Sprint Reviews
  • Use AI to prepare a stronger stakeholder conversation: increment context, decisions, and open questions.
  • Draft demo narratives, talking points, and follow-up summaries the team can review and own.
  • Capture stakeholder feedback into clear, actionable signals for the Product Backlog.
8
Strengthening Retrospectives
  • Use AI to prepare retro topics, summarize Sprint signals, and surface candidate improvement experiments.
  • Run AI-supported retro formats that protect psychological safety and the human conversation.
  • Convert retro outcomes into clear experiments with owners, hypotheses, and check-in points.
9
Inspecting Sprint Signals
  • Use AI to review in-Sprint signals: progress toward the Sprint Goal, risks, blockers, and team health.
  • Inspect team metrics and forecasting with AI without confusing measurement with management.
  • Spot patterns and propose adjustments the team can choose to act on.
10
Accelerating Product Development
  • Explore how AI is changing how we develop products, whether they are software or hardware.
  • Apply patterns from the core sections to a real challenge from your own team or product.
  • Get peer review and trainer coaching, and leave with a personal Scrum Master AI toolkit you can use immediately.
+ 45 MIN BONUS
In the bonus time, we will go over your real-world issues and concerns, using the patterns from class to explore practical next steps for your team and context.

What Sets This Apart

A live Scrum Master workshop driven by AI.
Not an AI tutorial dressed up as a Scrum Master course.
Practical & Real
Real-world AI for Scrum Masters, not theory or a tour of generic tools. We work from the situations Scrum Masters actually face: unclear goals, difficult team dynamics, weak feedback loops, organizational friction, stalled improvement work, and Scrum events that need better preparation and follow-through.
Bonus Time
The bonus time gives you room to bring the class back to your own environment. We work through real issues from participants, apply the patterns from class, and identify practical next steps for your team rather than stopping at canned examples.
Tailored to ScrumMaster Role
AI is framed as support for facilitation, coaching, transparency, impediment removal, event preparation, and continuous improvement, while the Scrum Master stays accountable for judgment, ethics, trust, and the human conversations that make Scrum work.

Earning Your Certification

The Scrum Alliance AI for ScrumMasters microcredential

AI for ScrumMasters Logo

There is no examination required to earn the AI for Scrum Masters microcredential. Participating in the live session earns the credential. Grow-Lean covers the credentialing fee.

The AI for Scrum Masters badge does not expire and pairs naturally with CSM, A-CSM, or CSP-SM credentials by showing applied AI capability in service of team effectiveness.

Beyond the badge, the deeper benefit is leaving with a working Scrum Master AI toolkit: prompt patterns, responsible-use guardrails, event support, team-health review patterns, and practical coaching aids.
