Professional Scrum Master II

Professional Scrum Master II™ (PSM II) course is a 2-day advanced Scrum Master class designed to support Scrum Masters in their professional development. The PSM II course is intended for Scrum Masters with at least one year of experience who are looking to grow their knowledge and abilities as a Scrum Master. This course is one step in that journey.

Professional Scrum Master II certification

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

You will learn

The Scrum Master role is complex and often, a Scrum Master must be able to apply different stances in order 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, being able to identify, and effectively apply, which stance would benefit your team the most depending on the situation or circumstance could prove to be the key to the success of your team.

You need to have acquired the PSM-I certificate with a score of at least 85%.
You need to have attended a classical PSM-I training for more than one year prior to the PSM-II training.
