Learning Experience Options

Our primary method of increasing Professional Scrum and the Scrum Masters accountability knowledge is a deliberate developmental experience divided into learning blocks, each with four hours of live virtual classroom training with a qualified trainer-practitioner complemented with presentations and lectures in the form of videos, reading material, and writing activities provided for self-study. Live sessions are delivered online using Microsoft Teams and Mural, with Mighty Networks provides the self-study portal.

Every participant on every option receives:

  • Two attempts at the industry-recognised Scrum.org Assessments.
  • A 30m learning review, generally delivered between assessment attempts.
  • A 60m one-on-one coaching session

This immersion training is delivered as an 8-week interactive, activity-based course over 4-hour sessions using Microsoft Teams and Mural. Throughout the immersive experience, students learn and then practice Scrum Master practices that they can use once they leave the classroom while also receiving an introduction to Professional Scrum. Between sessions, we provide additional reading, writing, and watching activities to maximise the learning opportunities and complement the classroom experience, and an assignment to be completed by the start of the next session.

What You Will Learn

Over the 2 days, students will see why PSM is the cutting-edge course for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching a software development team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness. The course includes advanced thinking for servant-leadership and behavioural shifts. Throughout the course, students are challenged to think in terms of the Scrum principles to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace. The PSM course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases.

 

Our Professional Scrum Master Training Program contains the Professional Scrum Master Training (PSM) from Scrum.org and is composed of 16h live with an instructor and additional offline exercises and materials that covers the principles and theory of the Scrum framework and the Scrum Master role.
