Accredited Professional Scrum Master

Overview

Delivered by a certified Professional Scrum Trainer (PST), this two-day course covers the first of three levels of Professional Scrum Master™ certification training. It provides a concentrated study of the principles, theory and competencies supporting the Scrum framework and how to use it to optimise productivity and effectiveness. It prepares you to sit and pass the first level of professional certification. On successfully passing the PSM 1 exam, you’ll receive the industry recognised PSM 1 Certification to demonstrate your fundamental level of Scrum mastery from Scrum.org.  

The scrum master framework focuses on providing early business value to business users. Projects, product delivery and enhancement are divided into short bursts of work referred to as ‘sprints’ that last no more than one calendar month. At the end of each sprint, the team holds a sprint review to review progress and agree what to do next. Immediately after the review, the team inspects its own performance to encourage continuous improvement.
