			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Scrum Alliance is rolling out a new Scrum certification exam. As a Certified Scrum Trainer. I had the opportunity to proctor the exam. After delivering my first Kansas City CSM class 5 of my students elected to stay late and take the exam with me.</p>
<p>I have mixed feelings about the exam. Will it be good for the community and agile in general. Will we start to delivery courses that teach to the exam and stop delivering courses that encourage people to think agile.</p>
<p>There is more than enough training out there that teaches people to pass tests. What is needed and lacking are courses that encourage people to think through problems, especially, in an agile way.</p>
<p>Both the students and I fear that something might be lost from the course if we (trainers) are forced to teach from an exam. The forces on us will be students/clients who only take the course if it helps them pass the exam.</p>
<p>- More later</p>
