Customer Voices:

"Excellent virtual PSM I class: I was participating the virtual PSM I class and it was a lot of fun. The trainer was well structured. The exercises worked really well in an online environment and the tools used to work on the exercises were a good fit." (Link.)

"Great PSMI class: Great class, good mix between lecture, discussion and exercises. I learned a lot. Thanks Stefan!" (Link.)

“I attended the PSM I class run by Stefan Wolpers from Berlin Product People in Berlin this November and I am 100% sold. I came here intentionally to better understand how our product department works and to get some new impulses on my own projects but after preparing for the course, I started getting hooked on the possibilities of scrum, and just a short time into the class, I seriously started considering looking into shifting fields over to the fascinating world of agility. Thanks to Stefan for being so extremely resourceful before, during and after the class, filling the course with interesting real-life examples (also props to the other participants for sharing), and creating community rather than just sending you off with two days of memories and some printouts. Incredible class, great content, 100% recommended.” (Link.)

“Great training experience. It was very interactive with many room for exchange of thoughts and discussions. Furthermore the workshop is well balanced between knowledge input and active training with practical examples. I can recommend this for everybody who wants to get a first glance on SCRUM. Just one minor issue is that everything is based on the development of Software and is not easy to translate into Hardware development. But although this was also tried to tackle by our SCRUM teacher.” (Link.)

“I learned a lot! It was very fun, all the questions answered and openly shared. The information was very interesting and well presented as well as prepared. Stefan has all the knowledge to make this training enjoyable and adaptable to the skills of the group, also is very open to answer questions at all times.” (Link.)

“Thanks for the helpful training! Got a lot of inspiration of methods to use for facilitating workshops with my team. Also it refreshed my understanding of the scrum principles and enables me to reflect them for me and with the team. Thanks to Stefan for the helpful training!” (Link.)

Who Shall Attend the Training?

This advanced Scrum Master training class focuses on furthering the participants’ understanding of the role of the Scrum Master, what makes a Scrum Master successful, and the mindset that is needed to become an effective servant leader. The class is hence well-suited for practicing Scrum Masters who want to advance their professional development and take the next career step.

Please note that the Professional Scrum Master II class is not suited for beginners. The PSM II training requires an advanced level of Scrum knowledge from attendees as well as hands-on experience in supporting Scrum Teams for at least 6-12 months. It is also recommended to attend a PSM I training class in advance.

Learning Objectives of the Advanced Scrum Master Training Class

The class covers in detail the stances that Scrum Masters need to adopt when dealing with complexity, organizational debt, outdated technology, challenging market conditions, or difficult people, namely:

• 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, you are regarded as the go-to-person for all things “agile and Scrum” in your organization, as the prime change agent. You will hence need to be expertly familiar with techniques, tools, and practices that allow you to support your management, your stakeholders, your Product Owners, and Scrum Teams on their journey to achieve business agility.

This PSM II class provides you with an excellent starting point for your journey to Professional Scrum. In the class, we will share tools; our lessons learned, exercises, and stories that will help you to become more proficient in Scrum. Also, we will explore the most potent facilitation techniques available to Scrum Masters to date — Liberating Structures — extensively.

PSM II Training Focus

The Professional Scrum Master II training will focus on:

• Effects on the organization of a successful Scrum Master
• Dealing with complexity and servant leadership
• Dealing with team conflict
• Removing impediments
• Facilitation techniques
• The Importance of a “Done” Increment
• The Sprint Goal
• Refresh the purpose of the Scrum Events
• The role of management in Scrum
• Successful product delivery
• Measurement in Scrum
• How to support the Product Owner
• Understanding the challenges of middle management
• Scrum Master as a change agent.

What Will You Take Home with You?

This Advanced Professional Scrum Master training will provide both the PSM II class manual as well as the PSM II certification code. (Including an additional complimentary code within the first 14 days after the completion of the class if the trainee does not achieve 85 % the first time.)

Additionally, you will also receive a book and several ebooks from Stefan that provide proven hands-on tactics to excel at your position of Scrum Master, thus furthering your career potential.

Please note that while the Professional Scrum Master II class includes the PSM II certification, the class is not directly linked to this certification. The class is not about passing the PSM II certification but focused on making attending Scrum Masters more successful in their profession.
