Professional Scrum Master

Want to kickstart your journey as a Scrum Master? Join Christiaan Verwijs & Barry Overeem for the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master-class; a mind-blowing training for starting Scrum Masters.

You don't want to miss this class because ...

• We teach an honest story, grounded in our personal experience and the hundreds of teams and Scrum Masters we've worked with over the years;
• You receive access to our exclusive quarterly Retrospectives where students from our various Scrum Master classes reflect on their learnings and give and get help;
• We provide a serious-and-fun training that aims to energize and inspire you in your journey with Scrum. Students rate our class with an 8.8 (with scores ranging between 8 and 10);
• As Course Stewards at Scrum.org, Barry and Christiaan are responsible for the continued development of the Professional Scrum Master classes (I and II) and the training of other Scrum.org trainers;
• We prepare for your PSM-I Assessment by practising with difficult cases and assignments during the course. By participating, you receive a free code (and retry) for the PSM-I assessment and a discount for the PSM-II assessment. Both the PSM-I and PSM-II are industry recognized certificates that demonstrate a deep understanding of the content. We would like to note, however, that no certificate replaces real-world experience with Scrum.

What to expect

• Grow a deep understanding of the Scrum Framework and why its underlying empirical process is necessary to thrive in the face of complex problems (such as product development and software engineering);
• You can start your own Scrum Team or improve the effectiveness of existing Scrum Teams;
• You know how the Scrum Master can be a servant leader;
• You have a solid understanding of the three Scrum roles and how they work together in Scrum;

• Connecting with other experienced Scrum Masters, and given and receiving coaching on personal challenges;

What happens after the class?

• You are invited to join the Professional Scrum Master Retrospective – a quarterly meetup in the Netherlands for participants of the course. The Retrospective helps you achieve your learning goals, build networks and learn from other excellent Scrum Masters;
• You have made an important step in preparing for your (optional) PSM-I Assessment;
