Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master Certification Course

The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) course is a 2-day course that covers the Scrum basics, including the prin-ciples and (empirical) process theory underpinning the mechanics, rules and roles of the Scrum framework.

Students learn how to use Scrum to optimize value, productivity and the total cost of ownership of software products. Tools are provided to enable students to relate to behavioral shifts, work with people and teams, coach and facilitate techniques, and address the organization.

Students learn through instruction and teambased exer-cises, and are challenged to think in terms of the Scrum principles to better understand what to do when return-ing 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.

Advanced Scrum Course specifically targetted for Scrum Masters & Coaches.

The Scrum Framework Scrum theory includes time-boxing, and specific roles, rules, and artifacts. All elements of Scrum complement each other to form a consistent whole. All work is performed in Sprints. All base rules, events, and roles are described in the Scrum Guide, the acknowledged Scrum body of knowledge. Each part of Scrum ties back to the principles and theory. This is foundational knowledge for every Scrum Team member and anyone involved with Scrum. Scrum Masters additionally know how to explain, teach, coach and facilitate the proper use of the Scrum framework. Scrum Masters assure the effective and consistent use of rules of Scrum, preventing them from falling apart. Scrum Theory and Principles Scrum is founded on empirical process theory to deal with the complexity typical to software development. All principles and values of Scrum are based on the fundamental view of software development as creative and com-plex work. Scrum Masters know how Scrum implements empiricism in software development. They explain how the Scrum principles tie back to the empirical nature of Scrum, and how they are fundamentally different from those of more traditional software development approaches. Scrum Masters understand the impact of the trans-parency that Scrum brings and requires, and how Scrum is best used to increase an organization’s agility. Cross-functional, Self-organizing Teams Scrum Teams are self-organizing and cross-functional; which is very different from traditional development groups. Scrum Masters understand the people aspect of Scrum, how to work with people. Scrum Masters understand how Scrum Teams are formed. Scrum Masters have the tools and ideas to get Scrum teams going, guide them along the way and help them continuously self-develop to become successful through better collaboration. Coaching and Facilitation Scrum Masters are servant-leaders, they are leaders with no control and authority over people, they are leaders who uses bottom-up leadership style. Scrum Masters need to adjust their leadership skills. Scrum Masters need skills and tools to coach teams and organizations in understanding and applying Scrum. They master several techniques for coaching, conversation, and facilitation in order to help people, teams, and organizations discover what works best for them. Being a Scrum Master requires specific skills and traits. The overall behavior of a Scrum Master is very different from a project manager or team leader in a traditional environment. Change Management Scrum Master is a change agent and a servant leader. Scrum is a new style of management and a new style of working for software development area. But introducing a revolutionary change like Scrum to an existing organisa-tion are not easy tasks. Scrum Masters should master the techniques Scrum Masters can identify waste and scaling options within a team to increase the effectiveness of the team in delivering releasable software.
