of customer value, frequent feedback loops and

the fostering of strong team dynamics.

The course provides an active learning

environment for students to engage in discussion,
team-based exercises, and individual reflection.
During the course, students work in Scrum Teams
over a series of Sprints to learn Scrum while using
Scrum.

The course also includes a free attempt at the

globally recognized Professional Scrum Master
I (PSM I) certification exam.

Course Overview
In this two day class* students learn to apply
Professional Scrum. They experience new, agile
ways of working that enable teams to deliver
more value, satisfy stakeholders and work better
together. Students work together as a team in a
series of Sprints to solve complex problems,
facing similar challenges that they face outside of
class and learning how to use Scrum to address
them. These Sprints enable students to see the
practical application of Scrum and to understand
the value of an Agile mindset. Additionally, these
Sprints expose common missteps and
misunderstandings often seen while using Scrum,
allowing students to develop an awareness of the
associated symptoms and how to correct them.
Students not only learn Scrum; they learn how to
use Scrum well.

of materials around the world no matter which of

our Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) is teaching
the course. Each course explores real-world
challenges to help students apply what they learn
in their roles once back at work.

The maintenance of Scrum.org courseware is

based on feedback from the overall PST
community who are delivering each class. They
all teach from the same content, bringing great
consistency, but also feedback from the real-world
to drive incremental improvements and high
quality.

On their path to becoming a PST, they must have

several years of Scrum experience. Once PST
candidates apply, they then go through an
extensive process that includes: interviews,
validation of knowledge, training, peer reviews
and more.

PSTs bring their own style and experiences with a

consistent delivery of Scrum.org training around
the world, so you know each course we teach is
aligned with Professional Scrum, and all of your
teammates are learning from the same course
materials.
