Course Description
What is a Professional Scrum Master™
Professional Scrum Masters demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Scrum and their ability to apply it in real-world situations.
In this two day class* learners learn to apply Professional Scrum. They experience new, agile ways of working that enable teams to deliver more value, satisfy stakeholders and work better together. Learners work together as a team in a series of Sprints to solve complex problems, facing similar challenges that they face outside of class and learning how to use Scrum to address them. These Sprints enable learners to see the practical application of Scrum and to understand the value of an Agile mindset. Additionally, these Sprints expose common missteps and misunderstandings often seen while using Scrum, allowing learners to develop an awareness of the associated symptoms and how to correct them. Learners not only learn Scrum; they learn how to use Scrum well.
