Professional Scrum Master Course

Professional Scrum Master Course with Ralph Jocham! January 31st and February 1st 2022. [online]

 

We continue with our Scrum training series with one of the most popular courses – Professional Scrum Master – and we bring one of the top Scrum.org trainers!

Learn Scrum From Those Who Created and Maintain It

Professional Scrum MasterTM (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 team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness. The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioural 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.

How You Will Learn?

Our trainings have always been characterized by the interaction of trainers and participants, as well as a “hands-on” approach in mastering the material and acquiring knowledge. We have ensured and tested in practice the continuity of these important ingredients with the help of the communication tools Zoom and Mural.

In the online environment, participants and the trainer are together on the Zoom platform (using breakout rooms), and we have replaced the use of cards and other tools in the classroom with digital – for visual collaboration – Mural, which we use as a platform for many exercises with participants during training.
