PROFESSIONAL SCRUM MASTER™ I Training Course
The Professional Scrum MasterTM level I (PSM I) assessment is open to anyone who wants to validate their depth of knowledge of the Scrum framework and its practical application. Those who successfully pass the assessment will earn the widely recognized PSM I Certification, demonstrating their fundamental mastery of Scrum.
While taking a course is not mandatory, if you are confident in your extensive Scrum knowledge, understanding of the Scrum Guide, and ability to apply Scrum within teams, you can take the PSM I assessment directly. However, there are courses available that can help you prepare for the assessment and deepen your understanding of Scrum. Depending on your role, either the 2-day Professional Scrum Foundations or Professional Scrum Master course is highly recommended.
Course Overview
In this two-day class* students are challenged to explore Agile and Scrum principles, enabling them to better understand how to apply Scrum in support of their teams and organizations.

The result is an interactive and enjoyable learning experience where students gain a deep understanding of Scrum theory, principles, the responsibilities of a Scrum Master, and the importance of each element of the Scrum framework.
Upon completion of the course, students will have a deeper appreciation for Professional Scrum and the agile mindset. They will learn how to address common myths and impediments to agility and gain the knowledge and skills needed to choose and apply the most beneficial practices and techniques for their Scrum Teams.
