Description
The use of agile development methods such as Scrum continues to grow apace. This is based on extraordinary benefits in productivity, quality, predictability and flexibility being experienced across diverse companies and industries. Scrum has now entered the mainstream, with the majority of software development organisations worldwide using it in at least some projects.
To ensure the quality of training, many organisations are looking to certification schemes. The creators of Scrum, Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber, have defined the key concepts and practices of Scrum. Based on this, there is a two level certification scheme called ‘Professional ScrumMaster’ to ensure these are understood by those wishing to lead or work with/in Scrum teams.
This course provides a deep-dive into these topics, and includes classroom type training, interactive exercises, sample exam questions and in-depth discussions with experienced Scrum practitioners/trainers.
Covering all material required for PSM and much more, this course will give you the knowledge needed to pass the Level 1 exam (PSM 1 Exam Token Included) , begin applying Scrum in your work environment, and start to accumulate the experience needed to pass the Level II exam.
(PSM Level II provides an advanced certification for those who have studied the topic widely and have extensive hands-on experience using Scrum. Although the same body of knowledge is relevant, the exam requires interpretation of the Scrum framework in tricky situations and a deep understanding of agile and lean concepts under-pinning Scrum).
