More Information

Why should you register for this Live Virtual Class?

 

Who is this course aimed at?

Scrum Masters who already understand WHAT Scrum is and want to better understand HOW to better serve their team and their organisation!

This course is online?

Yes, this course has been converted from a face to face training course to a "virtual" training experience using Zoom. You can take the training from the comfort of your own home in two full days, assuming you have internet!

Can a "Live Virtual Class" really compare to "in person" training?

I'll admit, I was sceptical at first! But once I started running my first Live Virtual Class I almost forgot that we weren't in the same room. And feedback from my students has been excellent. But we're all inspecting and adapting. One of my students noted there were some issues with the online collaboration tool so I've setup a step by step tutorial for students to take before the class so the technology doesn't get in the way of the learning. The overall feedback has been that the Live Virtual Class is an incredible opportunity to spend time with like-minded individuals for two days whilst exploring Scrum within the structure of the class!

What are the prerequisites for attending the course?

Experience of the Scrum Master role is a prerequisite as the course is very much student-led with students swapping their thoughts, insight and opinions from their experience as a Scrum Master.

What's included in the price?

  • The two day Live Virtual Class
  • Up to two attempts at the PSM II Assessment
  • An additional "assessment prep" virtual session for anyone who is interested
  • A 40% discount on the PSM III Assessment should you wish to attempt it
  • You can also claim 14 PMI PDU credits for attending the course

How many people will be in the training?

At least 4 and usually no more than around 10 people to ensure maximum engagement for everyone who attends.

What time does the training run from and until?

Nine to five both days with frequent breaks and an hour for lunch.

What does the course cover?

  • What makes an effective Scrum Master
  • How the Scrum Master supports the Scrum Team
  • How the Scrum Master supports the organisation
  • How to effectively communicate with leadership teams and management
  • Dealing with complexity and impediments
  • Measurement in Scrum and the effective use of metrics
  • Successful product delivery with Scrum
  • Facilitation techniques and which events they might be best suited to

How do I obtain the PSM II (Professional Scrum Master) Certification?

The course includes up to two free attempts at the PSM II on-line Assessment. You can take this in your own time. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and a web browser and the assessment password, which is supplied by Scrum.org after you have completed the course. It is an "open book" exam meaning you can have the Scrum Guide open and Google available but you need to answer 30 multiple choice questions in 90 minutes and the pass mark is 85%.

Students that attempt the assessment within 14 days but do not pass will be given a 2nd attempt at no additional cost.
