PROFESSIONAL SCRUM MASTER™ I Training Course
The Professional Scrum MasterTM level I (PSM I) certification is open to anyone seeking to confirm their understanding of the Scrum framework and its practical application. Those who successfully complete this assessment will earn the globally recognized PSM I Certification, which attests to their foundational proficiency in Scrum.
A preparatory course is not mandatory; if you are confident in your comprehensive knowledge of Scrum, a thorough grasp of the Scrum Guide, and the ability to implement Scrum within teams, you can opt to take the PSM I assessment directly. However, preparatory courses are available for those who wish to enhance their understanding before taking the assessment. Depending on your role, either the 2-day Professional Scrum Foundations or Professional Scrum Master course is highly recommended.
