I almost forgot to mention — I'm now a Certified ScrumMaster! I took the 2 day training course with Nigel Baker of AgileBear 2 weeks ago and am a changed man ;-)
You don't need ScrumMaster Certification to manage projects with Scrum (IMHO), but if you're using Scrum with a team that hasn't used Scrum before, I highly recommend bringing in a professional trainer to take the team through an overview of the framework at the outset of the project — we brought Nigel in to train the entire Concern web team last month and it was money and time well spent :)
