Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills™ is an interactive course designed to help Scrum teams and individuals achieve the following: 

• Develop proficiency in facilitation skills
• Learn when and how to select effective techniques for various circumstances
• Enable better problem-solving
• Create more effective Scrum events
• Develop greater team alignment, all leading to better outcomes.

While great Scrum Teams are self-managing and have skills to solve problems and deliver successful outcomes, team interactions don’t always go well. Sometimes team members lose sight of goals, don’t fully engage, and/or can’t reach an agreement. Effective facilitation can create an environment in which each Scrum Team member’s voice can be heard and guide the team toward their desired outcomes.

Participants will learn how to become better facilitators to improve interactions with their Scrum Teams, stakeholders, and customers. Students will address a series of common Scrum-related scenarios by applying several facilitation techniques that they can add to their collection of agile practices.  

Who Should Attend

• Anyone on the Scrum Team interested in learning how to use facilitation to enhance their team’s success
• Experienced Scrum Masters

🔹 Optional Tools & What’s Next After PSFS

Passing PSFS proves you understand Facilitating within Scrum.
Using Scrum every day is how confidence is built.

After certification, many Scrum Masters ask one simple question:

“How do I apply this in real life—without adding more overhead?”

That’s why we built AI Scrumpreneur and ScrumMate™.

They are optional.
They are practical.
And they are designed for how Scrum is actually used at work.

🆕 ScrumMate™ — An AI Thinking Workspace for Scrum Masters

(Free Early Access · Limited Time)

Scrum Masters don’t struggle because they lack tools.
They struggle because they’re expected to think clearly, fast, and across many roles—often with little support.

ScrumMate™ is built for that moment.

It’s a lightweight, browser-based AI thinking and preparation workspace designed to help Scrum Masters analyze, prepare, and decide better before, during, and after Scrum events.

ScrumMate does not replace Jira, boards, or delivery tools.
It helps you show up sharper.

What ScrumMate™ Actually Does

ScrumMate is made up of purpose-built AI workspaces — not random tools.
Each one solves a real Scrum problem.

With ScrumMate, you have a:

There’s nothing to install.

ScrumMate doesn’t run Scrum for you. It helps you run Scrum better.

Every Scrum Master needs a ScrumMate.
