Professional Scrum Master

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

Examen voucher + free attempt:

Because this is an official Scrum.org course, a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I certification exam (PSM I) is included.

In-person class given by scrum.org certified trainers:

This is an in-person class given by scrum.org accredited trainers with ongoing field experience. Because of this, the trainers are able to share their experiences from the trenches and connect it back to the theory to meet your learning objectives. 

No boring PowerPoint slides. 100% interactive and redesigned into mini-workshops.

Our classes are somewhat unconventional. We don't do PowerPoint, and we don't think the traditional "we talk, you listen" is fun, nor is it effective. Also, we don't like spaces designed for big meetings or school settings.
Here is a sneak preview of what our classes tend to look like. 

What You Will Learn

Over the two days, students will see why PSM is the advanced course for effective Scrum Masters and anyone coaching a team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness. The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioural shifts.

Students are challenged to think about the Scrum principles throughout the course to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace.

The PSM course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based on real-life cases.

The course covers all the topics related to Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I), Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) and Professional Scrum Master III (PSM III) certification assessments.
