SCRUM Master Preparation Course

(PSM I according to Scrum.org)

Many companies are increasingly focusing on agile project management in order to streamline and improve traditional processes. Scrum is regarded as one of the most popular agile methods, as the model offers the opportunity to solve complex problems whilst achieving results of the highest quality in a productive and creative manner.

The Scrum Master plays a crucial role here, as they are responsible for the Scrum process and its correct implementation. Furthermore, they act as a liaison between the various roles within the team, focusing not only on maximising benefits but also on the continuous optimisation of the process. Our SCRUM Master preparation course teaches you the fundamentals of Scrum and the role of the Scrum Master, and serves as preparation for the PSM-1 certification exam as set out by Scrum.org.
