Professional Scrum Master II (2 days)

The Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) course is an advanced Scrum Master class designed to support Scrum Masters in their professional development. After the class, you are eligible for the PSM II assessment certification. You will gain the industry-recognized PSM II certification if you pass the assessment PSM II certification. This certification doesn’t expire.

The PSM II is an advanced course that helps you understand the stances that characterize an effective Scrum Master while diving deep into how they serve the Scrum team, Product Owner, and organization.

Who Should Attend

The Professional Scrum Master II course is an advanced course specifically designed for experienced Scrum Masters who thoroughly understand the Scrum framework. It is particularly beneficial for those people with at least one year of Scrum Master experience.

What You Will Learn

Over the 2 days, you will learn about areas critical to growing as a successful Scrum Master. You'll learn how the principles and values of Scrum help guide the decisions you make. You'll also discover how to help change the environment of Scrum teams, creating an environment for agility to thrive. The Scrum Master role is complex, and often, a Scrum Master must be able to apply different stances to be effective, such as:

• The Scrum Master as a Teacher
• The Scrum Master as a Coach & Mentor
• The Scrum Master as a Facilitator
• The Scrum Master as a Change Agent

As a Scrum Master - using the mindset & attitude of a servant leader - you need to identify and effectively apply which stance would benefit your team the most depending on the situation.

Throughout the class, we provide stories, exercises, facilitation techniques (such as “Liberating Structures”), resources, and more. There will also be time to provide peer coaching on challenges you and your classmates may be experiencing today.

Why Our Class?

Can I Pay By Invoice?

Can I pay by invoice? Booking through Eventbrite is simple, safe, and fast. You receive a valid invoice after your purchase. However, if you need to pay by invoice, we can send you a manual invoice for the regular price instead. Please contact us and let us know the name of your company, the address, a purchase order (when relevant), and the VAT number when your company is EU-based.

Can VAT be reverse-charged? Unfortunately, no. Tickets for public events are exempted from VAT reversal. We effectively pay the VAT for you. You can reclaim the VAT from your invoice through your local tax agency.
