Description
What is Professional Scrum Master:
The Professional Scrum Master (PSM) session is a practical hands on with true live projects, tools and techniques. It is created and examined by Scrum.org, the home of Scrum. By taking this class, please be assured that the course content, trainers and the resulting certification is of the highest quality.
Professional Scrum Masters demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Scrum and their ability to apply it in real-world situations. The value of certification is intimately tied to the demonstration of knowledge needed to achieve it. By that measure, the PSM assessments are significantly more valuable than available alternatives for Scrum. And, we strive to ensure that they remain valuable and relevant through frequent inspection and adaptation of the assessment content.
Who can attend
Intending Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Developers, Product and project managers who work with Scrum Teams, or anyone who wants to learn how to add value to an already established career. Please note that this is not just for Scrum Masters.
PSM I is recognized by the industry as a certification that demonstrates a fundamental level of Scrum mastery. As a PSM I certification holder, you have proven that you understand Scrum as described in the Scrum Guide and how to apply Scrum in Scrum Teams. PSM I holders have a consistent terminology and approach to Scrum.
While attendance is not a prerequisite, there are courses available to help you prepare for the test and gain a stronger understanding of Scrum. Depending on your role, either the Applying Professional Scrum or Professional Scrum Master course is highly recommended.
PSM I includes questions from the following Focus Areas as defined in the Professional Scrum Competencies.
Empiricism, Scrum Values, Scrum Team, Events, Artifacts, Done
Self-Managing Teams, Facilitation, Coaching and Mentoring
Managing Products with Agility:
Forecasting & Release Planning, Product Value, Product Backlog Management, Stakeholders & Customers
