PROFESSIONAL SCRUM MASTER™ I Training Course

The Professional Scrum MasterTM Level I (PSM I) assessment is available to anyone who wishes to validate their knowledge of the Scrum framework and its practical application. Those who successfully complete the assessment will receive the industry-recognized PSM I Certification, demonstrating a fundamental level of Scrum mastery. Taking a course is not mandatory.
