Professional Scrum Master

Learn Professional Scrum and How to be a Better Scrum Master

Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM) is a 2-day, interactive, activity-based course where students gain a strong understanding of Professional Scrum and the role of the Scrum Master. Through a combination of discussion and exercises, students develop a deep understanding of the underlying principles of Scrum and the Agile mindset while learning the practices applied by successful Scrum Teams. 

The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) certification exam. 

All participants completing the Professional Scrum Master course will receive a password to attempt the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) assessment. PSM class participants who attempt the PSM I assessment within 14 days of receiving their free password and do not score a passing score will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost.

Become a Professional Scrum Master

The 2 day, highly interactive Professional Scrum Master course inspects the Scrum framework in detail from theory and foundations to practical application 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.

The course will cover all the team roles, events and artifacts, so that you can be an effective Scrum Master or member of a Scrum team.

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.

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 students together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases.
