Professional Scrum Master™ - Advanced

The Professional Scrum Master - Advanced (PSM-A) course is a continuation of your journey into Scrum. We delve into the challenges that Scrum Masters face and reflects more deeply on how the principles and values of Scrum inform what a Scrum Master should (not) do in those situations. The PSM-A class is not  teaching you new things about the Scrum Framework or complementary practices, but about improving what Scrum Masters already know.

See why PSM-A is the cutting-edge workshop for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching a team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness. We deep dive into how Scrum Masters serve the Scrum Team, Product Owner, and the organisation. You will learn how to grow as a successful Scrum Master by learning how the principles and values of Scrum can help guide you in the decisions you make and how the you can help change the environment by creating the conditions for agility to thrive. You will also explore related practices and skills which will enable you to have the right types of conversations and how to apply them to become a better Scrum Master.
