REM Professional Scrum Master course (Scrum.org) - New York, USA - 7-8th May 2018

The Professional Scrum Master course helps you get a solid grounding in Scrum and its core principles.

You’ll learn about the Scrum framework, mechanics, and Scrum roles. The course then goes further by teaching students how to use Scrum to optimise value, productivity, and the total cost of ownership of systems and products.

The course covers all the topics related to Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) and Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) certifications assessments. Course delegates learn through instructor-led presentations and guidance, and also team-based exercises which are aimed at making sure the techniques are tangible and can be properly implemented in the real world.

Scrum.org maintains the defined curriculum and materials for the Professional Scrum Master course and selects only the most qualified instructors to deliver this course. Each instructor lends his or her individual experience and expertise to the course, but all students learn the same core content. This improves their ability to pass the Professional Scrum Master assessments and use Scrum in the workplace.
