Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I)

Learn to guide teams using Scrum — and prepare for the PSM I assessment

A practical programme for people moving into Scrum Master, project coordination or agile delivery roles, built around real team scenarios rather than theory alone.

Who it's for

Career changers and working professionals moving into agile roles

This programme suits people who are new to Scrum and want a practical foundation, as well as those already working in agile teams who want to formalise their skills and prepare for the PSM I assessment.

Practical application

Practising with scenarios, not just reading about them

Activities are based on situations a Scrum Master might actually face — a team missing a sprint goal, a stakeholder request mid-sprint, a retrospective that isn't leading to change — so you build judgement, not just recall.
