Course Overview
The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course is the flagship course of Scrum.Org. It is designed with the aspiring professional in mind, and is suitable for both the beginner and expert practitioner.
If you are want to learn more about Scrum this is the course for you. You will learn about why we use Scrum, how to navigate complexity using empiricism, the Scrum framework and all its moving parts, and what it means for a Scrum Master to be a true leader that serves.
Whilst the course is framed around the point of view of a Scrum Master, the learning is just as valuable and relevant for any leader or professional that needs to navigate the world of product delivery.
You will leave the course with an understanding of Professional Scrum, the importance of the Scrum Values, and an appreciation for the ‘simple-but-not-easy’ nature of practising empiricism.
Who should attend?
Anyone looking to solve complex problems, regardless of industry, will benefit from attending. The Professional Scrum Master course is designed with:
- Practitioners looking to start their Scrum Master journey.
- Scrum Masters, Coaches, and consultants looking to deepen their knowledge about Scrum.
- Anyone who works within, or interfaces with, product delivery.
Learning Experience and Format
The course is delivered either in-person or virtually via Zoom, as specified in the Location field, over three days. The classroom times run from 12 – 5PM UTC+0.
Both methods are delivered using an engaging mix of collaborative exercises, liberating structures, and group discussions – all facilitated by your trainer.
Whilst we do follow a curriculum, how it is delivered from course to course is never quite the same as another. I do this to ensure the experience is adapted to meet your needs and set you up for success!
Assessments and Certifications
The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course is associated with two globally recognized credentials, the PSM I and PSM II. Attending the course comes with a free attempt of the PSM I assessment, and a discount for the PSM II assessment.
These credentials, in the form of Credly certifications, are recognized in the industry as demonstrating a good understanding of Scrum, and Scrum.Org prides itself on their rigorous assessments.
