SCRUM MASTER I - (PSM I)
Overview
The Professional Scrum Master course covers the principles and (empirical) process theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role of the Scrum Master in it. This course is a combination of instruction and team based exercises and teaches what is at the heart of the Scrum and Agile movement. PSM is the cutting-edge course for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching a software development team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness.
