Overview
The Professional Scrum Master I certification exam preparation course is about mastering the Scrum framework: planning for product delivery, understanding the nuances behind working with people and teams and mastering the role of a Scrum Master as a servant leader. PSM I exam preparation course is a combination of instruction and team-based exercises and teaches what is at the heart of the Scrum and Agile movement.
Gain the skills for advanced thinking on servant-leadership to bring about behavioral shifts in people and teams and arm yourself with the knowledge and information to guide your real-world decision-making, especially when dealing with complexity. The Professional Scrum Master, a designation offered by Scrum.org to practitioners who successfully complete the Professional Scrum Master training and demonstrate their understanding by passing the exam, validates your expertise as a Scrum professional.
This course is designed to help Scrum beginners review knowledge in order to prepare to take the Scrum Master Certification Exam. We will review several of the Scrum Methodologies and the Sprint process as well as complete several exercises and discussions.
