About Course
About Certified ScrumMaster Training (Scrum Alliance)
The city's OMR corridor and the Guindy belt hold the densest concentration of project work in the region: IT services and shared-services campuses running delivery for overseas clients, and product engineering teams in Tidel Park shipping software rather than hours. Around them sit automotive and engineering exporters, hospital chains, life-sciences operations and port logistics, each planning work differently but all needing someone who can write a plan a shift supervisor can read.
For candidates the practical consequence is a wide choice of titles rather than one obvious path. Shared-services employers hire delivery managers and programme coordinators; product teams hire scrum masters and business analysts who sit with designers; exporters hire project engineers who can read a bill of materials and a buyer audit. Agile experience counts more here than anywhere else in the south, because the corridor runs mixed models and customers who watch delivery every week.
This Chennai page carries the same 12-week, 72-hour Certified ScrumMaster Training (Scrum Alliance) syllabus, faculty and assessment as the master programme, delivered live online and in hybrid format, with classroom batches at our Thoraipakkam centre.
Course Overview
12-week Certified ScrumMaster training: the Scrum Guide, servant leadership, event facilitation, backlog practice, a sprint simulation and the 60-question CSM exam.
Why Learn Certified ScrumMaster Training (Scrum Alliance)
Shared-services campuses here are measured on schedule and utilisation every week, so a candidate who can run a documented plan and a status call starts ahead of one with only a resume.
Tidel Park and Guindy product teams publish agile job descriptions, which means a scrum master credential carries weight here in a way it rarely does in a factory town.
Automotive exporters face buyer audits on delivery and traceability, so business analysis skills that turn a customer requirement into a controlled specification are worth real money locally.

Hands-on Practice and Capstone
Capstone: Facilitate one complete sprint with a simulated team of five and a Product Owner: run Planning against a real backlog, coach the Daily Scrum, inspect the Increment with stakeholders at the Review, and close with a Retrospective that produces one agreed improvement. You are observed throughout, and the work ends with two timed 60-question practice papers and a written review of your facilitation decisions.
Production scenario: Two weeks into a sprint the team has not shown a working increment, the Product Owner is assigning tickets directly to developers, and a senior stakeholder keeps interrupting the stand-up. Decide what you change, what you leave alone, and what you say in the next retrospective.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Certified ScrumMaster training at SkilBrill?
It is preparation for the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster exam, taught on the Scrum Guide as published: three pillars, five values, three accountabilities, five events and three artifacts. The course runs over 12 weeks and 72 hours, with a live sprint simulation and two timed practice papers at the end.
How is this different from the Professional ScrumMaster course on this site?
The CSM is a Scrum Alliance credential earned through an authorised course, with the exam bundled into the course and renewal every three years through 20 SEUs. The PSM I is a Scrum.org assessment, open to any candidate with no course attached, paid for separately and never renewed. This course prepares you for the CSM exam.
What does the CSM exam actually ask?
The exam is 60 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes, and you need 70% to pass. Most items are short scenarios about a team, a Product Owner and a Scrum Master, and the answer is decided by the Scrum Guide rather than by local practice. You may use the Scrum Guide during the exam, and the pass mark does not move between attempts.
Do I need a Scrum job or a Scrum certification to join?
No. You need no prior certification and no current Scrum role to start. The course assumes you have worked on a team that ships something, because the exam scenarios are about real team behaviour. If Scrum is new to you, the first two modules build the vocabulary and the pillars before the events and artifacts are examined.
What does the CSM syllabus cover?
Eight modules: the Scrum Guide theory, the three accountabilities, the five events, the three artifacts, servant leadership and facilitation, stakeholder and quality practice, exam preparation with two timed papers, and a capstone in which you facilitate a complete sprint with a simulated team and a Product Owner.
What is the duration and fee?
Twelve weeks, three sessions a week of two hours each, totalling 72 hours, with the sprint simulation scheduled inside the course. Fees run from Rs 45,000 depending on batch and mode, with classroom, live online and hybrid options and placement support through 200+ hiring partners.
What certificate do I receive?
A SkilBrill Course Completion Certificate for the full 72 hours of the programme. The Certified ScrumMaster credential is issued by Scrum Alliance after you pass the exam, and it stays valid for three years, after which 20 SEUs keep it current. SkilBrill prepares you for that exam; it does not issue it.
Is classroom training available in Chennai?
Yes. SkilBrill runs classroom batches in Chennai, alongside live online and hybrid modes — all three follow the same syllabus, labs and faculty.
Which companies hire for these skills in Chennai?
Learners in Chennai typically target a mix of MNCs and startups such as TCS, Cognizant, HCL, Wipro, Capgemini, Infosys. The programme's placement support applies equally to Chennai learners.
