Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM1)
Stop managing Scrum, start mastering it.
Great Scrum Masters aren’t process police, they’re the people who make self-management, transparency, and continuous improvement actually happen on the ground. This course gives you the mindset, the mechanics, and the confidence to do exactly that.
Professional Scrum Master™ is a highly interactive two-day course from Scrum.org which explores the principles, theory, and practical application of Scrum, facilitated by experienced practitioners, not lecturers reading from slides
Introduction
Rather than simply memorising events, accountabilities, and artefacts, you’ll explore why Scrum works as a framework for empiricism, self-management, and continuous improvement, and how to make it work in real life situations.
Whether you’re new to the role, stepping up from a traditional project management background, or looking to sharpen skills you’ve picked up informally, this course will deepen your understanding of Professional Scrum and set you up to support teams with genuine confidence.

- You’ll gain real coaching techniques, facilitation tools, and approaches for handling dysfunction and pushback
- Our trainers have led real Scrum Teams through real delivery pressure, so the insight you get goes well beyond the Scrum Guide
- Interactive exercises and scenario-based discussion mean you leave with understanding you can apply immediately
- The course maps directly to the PSM I competencies, and PSM I never expires, so the skills and credential you gain here support your whole career, not just your next job application
