PROFESSIONAL SCRUM MASTER™ I Training Course
The Professional Scrum Master™ Level I (PSM I) assessment is open to anyone wishing to validate their comprehensive knowledge of the Scrum framework and its practical application. Successful candidates will earn the industry-recognized PSM I Certification, demonstrating their fundamental mastery of Scrum.
Pre-course attendance is not mandatory. If you already possess a high level of Scrum proficiency, familiarity with the Scrum Guide, and the ability to apply Scrum within Scrum Teams, you may opt to take the PSM I assessment directly. However, courses are available to aid in preparation and deepen your understanding of Scrum. Depending on your professional role, attending either the 2-day Professional Scrum Foundations or Professional Scrum Master course is highly recommended.
Course Overview
In this two-day class*, participants are challenged to explore Agile and Scrum principles, enabling them to better understand how to apply Scrum to support their teams and organizations effectively.
Developed by Scrum.org, the course combines instructor-led and activity-based learning, with students collaborating in teams. Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) bring their own Scrum Master experiences and anecdotes to the classroom, utilizing their professional training skills to deliver the material in their unique style. This approach creates an engaging and enjoyable learning environment where students gain a deep understanding of Scrum theory and principles, the accountabilities of the Scrum Master, and the importance of each element within the Scrum framework.
Upon completion, students will appreciate Professional Scrum, the Agile mindset, and strategies for addressing common myths and impediments to agility. They will acquire the knowledge and understanding needed to select and apply practices and techniques that are most beneficial for their Scrum Teams.
