PSM I

The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course is the market-leading Scrum Master training developed by Ken Schwaber, co-creator of Scrum.  Professional Scrum Master (PSM) is an interactive, activity-based course where students gain a strong understanding of Professional Scrum and the role of the Scrum Master.

The Professional Scrum Master course covers the principles of empirical process control theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role
of the Scrum Master in it. The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioral shifts needed to become an effective and professional Scrum Master.
The PSM course is usually spread across two full days (8 hours each). We are organizing this virtual online training workshop due to the COVID-19 outbreak. We will be using https://zoom.us for video conferencing.

Organizations and teams adopting Scrum attempt to run (sprint”) before they can walk properly.

This often leads to quick burn-out and unsustainable Scrum implementation. Managers and Leads then wonder if their teams know what is needed to succeed in their Scrum implementation. Scrum Masters need in-depth knowledge and understanding of Scrum values and practices.

The course, uses a combination of instructor-led and activity-based learning where students work together in teams. Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) bring their own Scrum Master experiences and stories to the class and use their skills as professional trainers to deliver the material using their own unique delivery style. The result is an engaging, enjoyable learning experience where students gain a deep understanding of Scrum theory and principles, the Scrum Master accountabilities and why each element of the Scrum framework is important.
