PeopleCert SCRUM Master I

The 2-day course is designed to deliver the fundamental knowledge required for a candidate to build their knowledge and skills regarding the Scrum framework. In addition, the SCRUM Master II certification (which is the next level of the qualification) covers more advanced skills, practices and knowledge about the Scrum framework. The course prepares you for the exam to obtain the international PeopleCert SCRUM Master I certificate issued by the accrediting organisation.

Scrum is a framework within which people can address complex adaptive problems, while productively and creatively delivering products of the highest possible value.

Scrum is a process framework for developing, delivering, and sustaining complex products that has been used to manage work on complex products since the early 1990s. Scrum is not a process, technique, or definitive method. Rather, it is a framework within which you can employ various processes and techniques. Scrum makes clear the relative efficacy of your product management and work techniques so that you can continuously improve the product, the team, and the working environment. The role of Scrum Master is crucial to ensuring a proper Scrum process is maintained throughout a project.
