Professional Scrum Master

Professional Scrum Master

Learn Scrum From Those Who Created and Maintain It

Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM) is a 2-day course that covers the principles and (empirical) process theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role of the Scrum Master in it. This course is a combination of instruction and team-based exercises, and teaches what is at the heart of the Scrum and Agile movement. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I certification exam (PSM I).

What You Will Learn

Over the 2 days, students will see why PSM is the cutting-edge course for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching a software development team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness. The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioral shifts.

Throughout the course, students are challenged to think in terms of the Scrum principles to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace.

 The PSM course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases.

What Others Said 

This was hands down the best course I have ever attended. I feel really cheated for having done the PSM on my own and not getting the benefits of taking this course. Really well put together and explained and the use of anecdotal learning was phenomenal. Jaime Ginnever, NZME

 The techniques taught in this course are relevant, powerful and actionable - and I believe will have a positive impact on our team as we can set priorities and make hard decisions that were, up to now, not being made to the detriment of the product, the customer and the business – Rob MacGregor 

The course was presented by Edwin and, from the beginning, you can see that he's really passionate about the subject and has a lot of experience. I found that that the number of real world experience shown during the course really helped me to grasp the concepts and see how I can approach my current company/team. Eduardo Maino – Orion Health

 Edwin has an extraordinary command on the subject, illustrated with real time examples. Tips on coaching and course content everything was well organized Madhavan Ekanathan - AUT
