PSM-A

Deepen Your Impact as a Scrum Master

The Professional Scrum Master Advanced certification is a 2-day immersive class designed for experienced Scrum Masters ready to move beyond the basics. This is not a course about learning new Scrum theory — it's about developing the stances, judgment, and leadership presence that separate effective Scrum Masters from the rest. The course includes a free attempt at the globally recognized PSM II assessment.

• PSM-certified practitioners looking to deepen their professional practice
