Professional Scrum Master

The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course is a 2-day course that covers the principles and (empirical) process theory underpinning the mechanics, rules, and roles of the Scrum framework. Professional Scrum Master is THE cutting-edge course for effective Scrum Masters and anyone supporting a software development team's efficiency and effectiveness.

Train the Trainer Opportunity

This particular class is open to all, but it also qualifies as a ‘train-the-trainer’ event for participants that have been formally recognized as Professional Scrum Trainer candidates prior to the class. Such trainer candidates will spend an additional day in the classroom on March 18th following the regular class.

Professional Scrum Master (PSM) Certification

All participants completing the Professional Scrum Master course will receive a password to attempt the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) assessment. If you attempt the PSM I assessment within 14 days and do not score at least 85%, you will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost.  You are also entitled to a discount on the PSM II assessment.

Recommendations:

Hiren has a very practical way of teaching, and he makes the students think out of the box and cultivates a habit of finding the answers on their own, so that they truly understand Scrum. This helped me not only to crack the certification but also to understand the gaps that we have in our Scrum team. Though I know the change within my teams will take time, but if everyone is coached the same way, as Hiren did, then it will make the change more acceptable. Rakhee, JPMC

Excellent enthusiasm, great teaching style, a very interesting, informative and entertaining session of 2 days. Very knowledgeable and we got answers to all of our questions. Not using slides is a very good idea. Will definitely attend any other course by Hiren. Student, Tavant Technologies

Very engrossing session primarily due to great involvement with the course content that the trainer brings with him. Never a dull moment during the 2 day training period. Great Energy, Fantastic delivery and exemplary knowledge and examples which enlightened me with good knowledge of Scrum. Avishek Sengupta, Maersk
