Overview
Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM I) is a 2-day course that covers the principles and (empirical) process theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role of the Scrum Master. We’ll teach you how to master Scrum Theory and practice so that you can:
- Support agile teams be cross-functional and self-managing.
- Help Product Owners to manage to use agile techniques to plan their products, forecast delivery milestones, and get feedback from customers and stakeholders.
