AI-Powered Scrum Master (AI-SM)
Run Scrum with an AI co-pilot. A one-day, eight-hour live class for Scrum Masters.
What you'll learn
- Write your team's AI Usage Rules and decide where AI drafts and where you coach
- Turn three sprints of velocity and 6 to 8 backlog items into two Sprint Goal options and a capacity-aware split that flags over-commit
- Turn a messy standup transcript into a neutral digest: today's focus, a blockers table, and follow-ups with owners, ready for Slack or Confluence
- Draft a Sprint Review one-pager from release snippets: outcomes delivered, demo script, three risks, three asks, what's next
- Cluster retro themes with supporting quotes, gauge team morale, and draft three experiments with owners and dates
- Let AI write the metrics narrative: three evidence-linked hypotheses from throughput, cycle time, WIP and failure rate
- Predict next sprint's top impediments ranked by impact × likelihood, each with a mitigation, owner and check-date
- Keep a living How-it-Works page and attach a Privacy & Bias checklist to every AI artifact that leaves the team
The Scrum Master role is being rewritten, one Monday at a time
AI isn't replacing Scrum Masters. It's raising the bar on facilitation, impediment removal and delivery insight. The ones ahead of the curve aren't reading about it. They've wired it into Monday morning.
The AI-Powered Scrum Master (AI-SM) Certification is a one-day, eight-hour live course for Scrum Masters running AI-augmented delivery. Eight lessons plus a capstone cover role and mindset, planning and backlog refinement, daily Scrum, sprint review, retrospective, metrics, predictive impediments, and ethics, using ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Productboard, and Perplexity.
The class is model-agnostic and workspace-native. You won't walk out locked to one vendor. You'll walk out knowing which tool to pull for which job. Free tiers of ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini are enough for every lab; paid tiers add a richer experience but are never required.
Certifications are issued by the American School of AI; training is delivered by our authorized training providers. You leave with a 7-page capstone packet and a same-day badge.
Eight lessons. One capstone. Each one ships something.
Live, instructor-led. Every lesson ends with a copy-ready prompt, a sample output and a one-page artifact you keep. No slides you'll never open again.
1. Role & Mindset with AI
What changes for a Scrum Master today: AI drafts the repetitive parts in a uniform format; you spend your time on facilitation, alignment and coaching. Write your team's AI Usage Rules. You leave with: a one-page AI Usage Rules doc for your team.
2. Planning & Backlog Refinement
From three sprints of velocity plus 6 to 8 backlog items, produce two Sprint Goal options and a capacity-aware split that flags over-commit and adds a small stretch. You leave with: a Planning Brief and two Sprint Goal options.
3. Daily Scrum
Paste a messy standup transcript, get back a neutral digest: today's focus, blockers table, follow-ups with owners, ready to drop into Slack or Confluence. You leave with: a Standup Digest template you'll use tomorrow.
4. Sprint Review
From release snippets, draft a one-pager: outcomes delivered, demo script, three risks, three asks, what's next. Stakeholders read it in two minutes. You leave with: a Sprint Review one-pager template.
5. Retrospective
Across retro notes and sprint metrics, cluster five themes with supporting quotes, gauge team morale, and draft three experiments with owners and dates. You leave with: a Retro Insights pack and three experiments.
6. Metrics that Explain "Why"
Throughput, cycle time, WIP, failure rate: AI writes the narrative. Three hypotheses for what changed, each linked to evidence, each with a dated experiment. You leave with: a Sprint Health Brief with evidence-backed hypotheses.
7. Predictive Impediments
Be a fire-marshal, not a firefighter. From workflow history, predict next sprint's top impediments ranked by impact × likelihood, with mitigation, owner and check-date. You leave with: an Impediment Watchlist your team will trust.
8. Knowledge & Ethics
Turn scattered notes into a living How-it-Works page; attach a Privacy & Bias checklist to every AI artifact that leaves the team. Short, searchable, reviewed. You leave with: a How-it-Works page plus a Privacy/Bias checklist.
9. Capstone: your 7-page packet
Post-class, you assemble one page each of the day's artifacts: Planning Brief, Standup Digest, Impediment Watchlist, Review one-pager, Retro Insights, Sprint Health Brief, How-it-Works plus checklist. You leave with: a finished 7-page capstone and your AI-SM badge.
What learners are doing differently on Monday
Hours back on the work that drains your week
Sprint planning notes, daily-standup summaries, retro synthesis, impediment logs: the ceremony tax drops from hours to minutes, and the output is sharper.
71% of leaders would pick AI skills over years of experience
In the Microsoft Work Trend Index, 71% of leaders say they would rather hire a less experienced candidate with AI skills than a more experienced one without. For senior Scrum Master and Agile Coach roles, AI fluency is the tiebreaker.
A credential that proves it on paper
The AI-SM badge, issued by the American School of AI, gives hiring managers a concrete signal that you can lead AI-enabled delivery.
One day. No quitting your job.
Eight hours, live, with artifacts you can use at work the following Monday. No "twelve-week journey." Just the signal.
Verifiable. Shareable. Issued the same day.
Finish the capstone and your AI-SM certificate is issued, ready to share on LinkedIn, in your signature, or anywhere you list credentials.
