Behind-the-scenes of the third-ever CEO CSM closing

CEO CSM第三梯的結案花絮

Hello everyone, I am Teacher Roger, the first in Taiwan to obtain the Scrum Alliance's official Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) certification. Many already know that I am currently recruiting 200 CEOs, and the slots have already been filled. Creating this demand is precisely the core strategy of hunger marketing. When consumers find they can't sign up, some are even willing to pay a premium. The biggest challenge is how to conceal our marketing tactics. As a result, I disclosed all cost details and a system called the Information Radiator, which quantifies all performance data. After reading this, you'll realize that many CEOs are willing to pay for the CEO CSM course themselves.

CEO CSM第三梯的結案花絮

CEO CSM第三梯的結案花絮

大家好,我是 Roger老師,台灣首位取得Scrum Alliance官方認證的Scrum培訓師(CST) ,其實很多人都已知,我現在要招募200位CEO,且名額已經額滿。創建這種需求正是饑餓行銷的核心策略。

當消費者發現無法報名,有的甚至願意支付高額。最大的問題是如何隱藏我們的行銷技巧。因此,我公開了所有的成本資料和一個名為Informartion Radiaitor的系統,它將所有的績效數據量化。看完這篇,你將發現許多CEO會自己支付費用參加CEO CSM。

SMOG Builds an Executive CSM Team: From Resistance to Commitment—What Did Scrum Change?

思瑪科打造高階CSM團隊從抗拒到承諾

Many fast-growing companies encounter a familiar gap: the CEO thinks fast, but senior executives struggle to keep up in action. The direction is clear, but execution hits a wall. SMOG was one such company — while revenue soared and nearly doubled, they realized their execution teams lacked alignment and rhythm.

So they made a rare and bold decision: not only did the CEO learn Scrum, but the entire leadership team traveled from Taichung to Taipei to join the CSM course together.

They understood that only by establishing a shared language and a self-organizing culture could the team escape the exhausting cycle of misalignment and miscommunication.

In just two days, their leaders went from skepticism to late-night reflection. Real transformation doesn’t begin with a new system or tool — it starts when leaders personally engage, model the behavior, and drive alignment.

For SMOG, that transformation began in the CSM classroom.

金融業如何推動敏捷開發:從CSPO的培訓經驗分享

金融業如何推動敏捷開發從CSPO培訓經驗分享

在這個數位轉型與創新驅動的時代,很榮幸為新光銀行數位轉型部門的34位工作夥伴,開展了一場創紀錄的CSPO(Certified Scrum Product Owner)訓練課程。台灣的CSPO人數正逐年增加,目前已達350人,雖仍低於CSM的2000人,但成長趨勢顯示了對敏捷開發與PO角色的高度重視。課程中,學員展現了極高的熱忱,透過案例分析與互動學習,成功將理論應用於實際情境,為推動敏捷發展奠定基石。

思瑪科打造高階主管CSM團隊:從抗拒到承諾,Scrum改變了什麼?

思瑪科打造高階CSM團隊從抗拒到承諾

許多企業在高速成長後,常遇到這個斷層:總經理想得很快,高階主管卻跟不上行動;方向清楚,落地卻卡關。思瑪科正是這樣的公司——營收快速倍增,卻發現執行層缺乏共識與節奏。於是他們做了一個少見的決定:不只CEO學Scrum,連所有高階主管都從台中北上參加CSM課程。他們明白,只有建立「共通語言」與「自組織文化」,團隊才不會像過去一樣疲於奔命、上下誤解。兩天內,主管從懷疑到深夜反思,真正的轉型,不是換制度、換工具,而是領導者親自參與、示範、對齊。這場變革,就從思瑪科的課堂開始。

It turns out that the CSM/CSPO certifications don’t have an revoke mechanism—what a wonderfully easy way to maintain them!

CSM/CSPO證照沒有失效機制那真是太好維護了

Think your CSM or CSPO certification can’t be renewed once it expires? Think again!

Scrum Alliance certifications never truly expire. Even if they’ve been inactive for 5, 10, or 20 years, they can still come back to life.
No need to submit SEUs, no retesting, not even the $100 renewal fee!
Just retake a CSM or CSPO course, and all expired certifications will be instantly reactivated — it’s as simple as hitting “reset.”

Take PMABC alumnus Yen-Yang for example:
His three certifications from ten years ago? Fully revived after just one refresher course — no pain, all gain.

If you also have Agile certificates lying dormant, now’s the time to wake them up.

Innovative Leap: The Transformation and Enlightenment of Innolux Corporation

創新的飛躍群創光電的轉變與啟示

Hello everyone, I recently held a distinctive course for Innolux Corporation. As a company focusing on the manufacture of TV panels, Innolux stands out in the market with its unique corporate culture. They have found a balance between the gentle demeanor of Chimei Electronics and the ambition of Foxconn, which is a manifestation of their unique charm. From being a company that was not a market leader, after being acquired by the Foxconn Group, Innolux has gradually grown into the largest panel manufacturing company in Taiwan.

From a conversation with one CEO, I have expanded my plan to train 100 CEOs to 200

CEO CSM第二梯後的行動100位CEO擴增為200位

I am Dr. Roger, the first Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and Scrum Ambassador in Taiwan, dedicated to promoting Scrum across various industries as my mission. As an official certified trainer, my goal is to adopt Scrum and its principles to businesses and help them introduce agile mindset. In the second -ever of the CEO CSM training, I had the opportunity to witness a group of CEOs who were eager to learn and understand how to internalize agile mindset and incorporate it into their business empires. This exploration and inspiration not only deepened my reflection on teaching methods but also reaffirmed the potential of Scrum. I am excited to share the insights from this journey with you and enable more people to benefit from the wisdom of CSM.

原來CSM/CSPO證照沒有失效的機制! 那真是太好維護了

CSM/CSPO證照沒有失效機制那真是太好維護了

你以為CSM或CSPO證照過期就無法續了?其實完全不是!

Scrum Alliance的證照從不會永久失效,即使過期5年、10年或20年都能復活。不需補SEU、不用重考、甚至無需再付100美元續證費!只要重新參加一堂CSM或CSPO課程,所有過期證照通通復活,就像幫它們重啟生命一樣簡單。

就像長宏學員衍洋,十年前的三張過期證照,一次回訓後全數無痛重生!

如果你也有沉睡中的敏捷證照,是時候喚醒它們了。參考以下文章

Roger Interviews Geoff Watts on the Publication of Scrum Mastery in Taiwan

Roger專訪Geoff Watts在台灣出版Scrum Mastery

As Taiwan's first CST and founder of Taiwan Agile Tribe, I led a 70+ volunteer team and used ChatGPT to translate Geoff Watts's *Scrum Mastery* (Second Edition) into Chinese. This milestone made Taiwan the first in Asia to secure its rights. Combining Nexus and AI, we completed the translation in three months, delivering a practical guide on Scrum Masters' key qualities like humility, empathy, and team empowerment.

CEO CSM, the Zenith of CSM Courses on a Global Scale

CEO CSM全球最高規格的CSM課程

I am Jessica, the deputy general manager of a Taiwanese Agile book publishing company DrMaster. I and our general manager, Simon, attended the CEO CSM course taught by Dr. Roger. He claimed that his CSM course was the highest standard globally, so I recorded my observations and feelings from the course. I hope you can objectively determine whether this is indeed the highest standard, as I have not attended any CSM courses in other countries.

在韓國RSG SEOUL演講如何運作敏捷虛擬社群

我近期受邀參與韓國RSG SEOUL活動,擔任Mentor角色,協助舉辦該國首次RSG盛會,分享台灣RSG經驗並推動敏捷文化的國際交流。回顧2022年,我在台北舉辦的RSG創下Scrum Alliance十年來最高參與人數紀錄(888人),並製作了完整結案報告供全球參考。此次RSG SEOUL的經歷,不僅讓我傳承台灣的成功模式,也啟發我對敏捷未來更深層的思考,堪稱人生重要的一刻。

My First-ever CEO CSM Training and CEO Feedback

我的首航CEO CSM培訓及CEO回饋

Greetings everyone, I am Roger Chou, also known as Dr. Roger Chou, the first Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) from Scrum Alliance in Taiwan. I've always held a profound interest and passion in the applications of Agile and Scrum. Today, I would like to share with you the journey I have taken while conducting my first-ever CEO CSM training class. In this post, I will reflect on this journey and the enthusiasm ignited in my students through learning about CSM. Let's start by discussing my vision and product roadmap: do you still remember my previous blog post about my CST vision?

Meeting with Government Officials, Inviting Them to Join the CEO CSM Training

拜會政府文官邀請加入CEO CSM培訓

It took me a decade to become a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST). When I returned to Taiwan from Portland, USA, I expressed to the top executives in the Taiwan agile community that I hoped to cultivate 100 CEOs to become CSMs in Taiwan within the next two years. This news spread quickly, and in just three days, 100 CEOs registered to join, with 13 candidates. Among these applicants, high-ranking government officials can also apply for this CEO training qualification. However, I found that only two senior civil servants signed up, thus creating an imbalance.

台北富邦 × 長宏專案攜手推動敏捷與專案管理:全台最具競爭力銀行的轉型行動

台北富邦 × 長宏攜手推動敏捷與專案管理

富邦銀行被譽為全台最具競爭力的金融機構之一,2025年首次攜手長宏顧問於內部開設PMP與CSM證照課程,正式啟動專案管理與敏捷轉型之路。由資訊長張志清主導推動,吸引四位高階主管與多部門成員參與。在兩天實戰課程中,學員體驗Scrum框架所帶來的組織扁平化、跨部門協作與痛點解決能力。課後普遍反映:「Scrum不是工程師的事,而是管理者的責任。」富邦不僅洞察自身在敏捷實踐上的不足,更展現高度自省與超前部署的格局。這場課程成為他們打造敏捷文化、持續保有競爭優勢的關鍵起點。

拜會政府文官, 邀請加入CEO CSM培訓

拜會政府文官邀請加入CEO CSM培訓

我花了十年的時間成為CST (Certified Scrum Trainer)。當我從美國波特蘭返回台灣時,我向台灣敏捷社區的企業高階主管表達,希望能在未來兩年內在台灣培育一百位CEO成為CSM。這則消息迅速傳播,短短三天內,就有100位CEO報名加入,有13位候補。在這些申請人中,政府高階文官簡任官員也可以應用這CEO培訓資格。然而,我發現,只有兩位高級文官報名,如此即產生了一種不平衡的狀態。

推動敏捷如果同一案例有許多單位,並非可以由單一個單位就能完成,所有單位必須共同努力,否則孤掌難鳴,只有雙手鼓掌才會激起火花。因此,我與葉維銓先生,他在退休之前在保訓會擔任副主委,一起去拜見政府官員,希望透過我的解說,讓他們了解敏捷的精神並引發他們的興趣,讓他們也參與Scrum的學習與實踐。
