The AI-Powered Scrum Master class runs one day, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET, live online. Eight lessons and a capstone, and every lesson ends with an artifact you keep. If you are deciding whether to book a date, here is what the eight hours actually contain.
What you need before 9:00 AM
A laptop and free accounts on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. That is the whole kit; free tiers cover every lab in the day. The class itself is delivered by an Authorized Training Provider of the American School of AI, so you register for a date through the provider and the credential comes from the school.
The morning: three lessons, three artifacts
The day opens with role and mindset. What actually changes for a Scrum Master when AI drafts the repetitive parts of the job? You answer that in writing, by producing a one-page AI Usage Rules document for your own team: what the tools may touch, what stays human.
Lesson two is planning and backlog refinement. Working from three sprints of velocity data and a short stack of backlog items, you generate two Sprint Goal options and a capacity-aware split that flags over-commitment. The output is a Planning Brief you could hand to your team next sprint.
Lesson three closes the morning with the daily Scrum. You paste a messy standup transcript and shape it into a neutral digest: today’s focus, a blockers table, follow-ups with owners. The template drops straight into Slack or Confluence.
After lunch: from reporting to foresight
The afternoon runs five lessons. Sprint review comes first: a one-pager a stakeholder can read in two minutes, covering outcomes, a demo script, risks, and asks. Then retrospective, where AI clusters themes across retro notes and drafts experiments with owners and dates attached.
Lesson six turns flow metrics (throughput, cycle time, WIP) into a Sprint Health Brief built on hypotheses tied to evidence, so leadership reads an explanation instead of a wall of charts. Lesson seven is predictive impediments: from workflow history you build a watchlist of next sprint’s likely blockers, each ranked by impact and likelihood, with a mitigation, an owner, and a check date. The final lesson covers knowledge and ethics and produces two artifacts: a searchable How-it-Works page and a Privacy and Bias checklist that travels with every AI output your team ships.
The close: capstone, then credential
The last block of the day is the capstone. You assemble one page from each lesson’s work into a 7-page packet: Planning Brief, Standup Digest, Impediment Watchlist, Review one-pager, Retro Insights, Sprint Health Brief, and the How-it-Works page with its checklist. The assessment for the AI-SM credential is exactly that, the class plus the capstone, submitted the same day.
Once it is in, the American School of AI issues your credential the same day with a printed Certificate ID. It stays valid for two years from issue, and anyone can check it on the Verify a Credential page.
One practical suggestion: bring a real standup transcript or a real backlog. The labs work on whatever you feed them, and artifacts built from your own team’s data are the ones you will actually open on Monday.
Frequently asked questions
What do I need to bring to the class?

How is the AI-SM credential assessed?
The assessment is the class plus the capstone. You assemble one page from each lesson’s work into a 7-page packet and submit it the same day, before the class ends at 5:00 PM ET.
How long is the credential valid, and can employers check it?
The American School of AI issues the credential the same day with a printed Certificate ID. It stays valid for two years from issue, and anyone can confirm it on the Verify a Credential page.
