Class Overview

The 2-day Professional Scrum Master course covers the principles and (empirical)
process theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role of the Scrum
Master in it. This course is a combination of instruction and team-based exercises and
teaches what is at the heart of the Scrum and Agile movement.

PSM is the cutting-edge course for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching
a software development team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness.
The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioural shifts.
Throughout the course, students are challenged to think in terms of the Scrum
principles to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace.
