Overview

About This Training

Scrum Master PSM I Preparation is a hands-on course for people preparing for the Professional Scrum Master I certification by Scrum.org.

It goes through the Scrum Guide piece by piece: the theory behind Scrum, the three accountabilities, the events and the artefacts. Every topic is tied to situations Scrum teams actually run into, and the group works through exam-style questions and scenarios together, so people understand why an answer is right instead of memorising it.

The course is led by a PSM I holder who uses Scrum in her own project work. Participants leave knowing where they stand before the exam and with a clear idea of how a Scrum Master supports a team day to day.

How The Training Runs

Format
Group of eight young people seated in a circle in a modern classroom or meeting room, engaged in discussion or an activity, with some holding cards and notebooks. The room has a projector mounted on the ceiling, a blank flip chart, and a screen displaying text and graphics on the wall, with posters and photos arranged on another wall.
1

We start from your context

Not a generic intro, but your team's real situation.

Four people seated around a wooden conference table in a modern office, writing on papers, with large windows showing an outdoor terrace and urban buildings, and a large flat-screen TV mounted on a white wall.
2

Concept, then practice

Short theory, straight into a case that mirrors your work.

Five people in a modern office space focused on a laptop on a blue table; three women and one man sit around the laptop, one woman holding a bottle, while a man and a woman stand in the background near large windows.
3

Reflect and apply

The team leaves with templates and a way of working they use that week.

No lecture marathons. Every block pairs a short concept with a hands-on case — in groups, on real scenarios, with tools like Lego Serious Play.
