Live Virtual Class Professional Scrum Master Flipped Learning

Flipped Learning Edition

Learn Professional Scrum and How to be a Better Scrum Master

Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM) is an interactive, activity-based course where students gain a strong understanding of Professional Scrum and the accountabilities of the Scrum Master. Through a combination of discussion and exercises, students develop a deep understanding of the underlying principles of Scrum and the Agile mindset while learning the practices applied by successful Scrum Teams. 

The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) certification exam. 

Flipped Learning Edition

This class is based on the Flipped Learning delivery format. The class is split into blocks. Each block consists of a self-study part where students use provided material to learn and reflect on the theory of Professional Scrum and then get together with their peers and their Professional Scrum Trainer to deepen the learning via group exercises and discussions.

Benefits of Flipped Learning:

• Consuming content in small iterations helps learning stick
• Multiple reflection cycles make the practical application of learning more impactful
• Variations of learning environments cater better to personal learning styles
• Lifetime access to all study materials.
