Here's what a recent student had to say about Russell:

Down to earth instructor who really cares for his students

Russell does a fantastic job of explaining complex topics in a way that everyone can understand. His tempo is great. His stories and references are spot-on. You can really tell that his number one goal is to provide a great learning experience, and knowledge transfer, to his students.

INTRODUCTION – ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL SCRUM MASTER II TRAINING

Unlike the Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course which focuses on how to use Scrum, the Scrum framework and the role of the Scrum Master, PSM-II is an advanced course helping students to understand the stances taken by a highly effective Scrum Master and leader. Students learn practices and gain skills to enable them to have the types of conversations and interactions that lead to great customer and stakeholder outcomes.

The Professional Scrum Master II course is an advanced Scrum Master class designed to support Scrum Masters in their professional development.  The PSM II course is intended for Scrum Masters with at least one year of experience who are looking to grow their knowledge and abilities as a Scrum Master. This course is one step in that journey.

The course includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) certification exam.  If you pass the PSM II assessment you will receive the industry-recognized "PSM II" certification, along with a PSM II logo that you can use to identify your achievement. In addition, your name will be posted publicly for colleagues, managers, and potential employers to see. 

PSM II class participants who attempt the PSM II assessment within 14 days of receiving their free password and do not score at least 85% will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost. You are also entitled to a 40% discount on the PSM III assessment. These industry-recognized PSM certifications require a minimum passing score.

More Information

IS THIS SCRUM MASTER TRAINING USEFUL FOR ME? 

 PSM II Logo

Students will learn about areas critical to growing as a successful Scrum Master such as how the principles and values of Scrum help guide Scrum Masters in the decisions they make and how the Scrum Master can help change the environment of Scrum Teams, creating an environment for agility to thrive. The Scrum Master role is complex and often, a Scrum Master must be able to apply different stances in order to be effective, such as:
 

  • The Scrum Master as a Teacher
  • The Scrum Master as a Coach & Mentor
  • The Scrum Master as a Facilitator
  • The Scrum Master as a Change Agent

As a Scrum Master, being able to identify, and effectively apply, which stance would benefit your team the most depending on the situation or circumstance could prove to be the key to the success of your team.

As a Scrum Master, part of your role is to help management and other stakeholders across your organization understand the benefits of Scrum and Agile. Therefore, it is imperative that you have the information and background that is needed to gain credibility in order to be an effective change agent.  Throughout the class, your PST will provide stories, exercises, facilitation techniques (such as “Liberating Structures”), resources and more.

There will also be time in class for the Professional Scrum Trainer (PST) to provide coaching on challenges that you and your classmates may be experiencing today or may in the future.
