Description
Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM) is an interactive, activity-based course where you will gain a strong understanding of Professional Scrum and the accountabilities of the Scrum Master. Through a combination of discussion and exercises, you will develop a deep understanding of the underlying principles of Scrum and the Agile mindset while learning the practices applied by successful Scrum Teams.
COURSE OVERVIEW
In this two day class you will be challenged to explore the Agile and Scrum principles so you can better understand what to do when applying Scrum to support your teams and organizations.
