AI for Scrum Masters (AIFS)
AI is inevitably revolutionising the way that Scrum teams work. As a leader, you are expected to lead by example on how to leverage GenAI. The challenge is doing this in a way that enhances rather than compromises Agile and Scrum values and principles.
Today’s effective Scrum Masters are saving time using AI and reallocating it to impediment resolution and capability uplift. They are using AI to unlock deeper insights into their team, Product Owner and stakeholders. To challenge and enhance their own thinking to show up with more options and be more effective.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need a Scrum certification to take this course?
No, there are no certification prerequisites for this course.
Understanding of Scrum and what is involved in the day-to-day work of a Scrum Master is important however, to get value from this course.
If you are new to Scrum or do not have experience as a Scrum Master, we encourage you to take a training course on Scrum first. Certified ScrumMaster is the leading certification course covering both Scrum and Scrum Master.
Why should a Scrum Master be using AI?
AI is inevitably changing the way that Agile teams work. Employers are increasingly expecting improved capabilities from this. As the capability leader of one or more Scrum teams, a Scrum Master can be expected to lead by example on this.
Most Scrum Masters that we observe and hear from are too bogged down in administrative tasks to find time for actually improving the Scrum Team and broader organisation. In GenAI we see a rare opportunity to shift from admin to impact.
The benefits go well beyond time savings. Using GenAI as a thinking partner is enhancing the quality of our work with more creative options, identification of risks and more. Used skillfully, AI can supercharge a Scrum Master.
In this fast-moving field, the challenges include knowing when to use AI, how to interact with it for the best results, and how to navigate its limitations and ethical issues. We address these challenges directly during this AI for Scrum Masters course.
How is a microcredential different from a full certification?
A microcredential is a qualification that demonstrates knowledge of an in-demand topic within a short time commitment.
Unlike certifications such as Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) and Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®), Scrum Alliance microcredentials do not require renewal.
For more information, see the Scrum Alliance article What is a microcredential?
