We will also analyse how to become a scrum master in the modern day and age! PSM 1 and CSM 1 are the go to scrum master certifications that delegates initially take for scrum training but do they actually provide helpful practical knowledge if it’s a certified scrum master trainer or is it just theory?

It’s extremely difficult deciding on what Scrum Master Training Course to pick from todays wide selection of available scrum master training certifications. Agile scrum master training is on rise with agile certifications that focus on the scrum master role so I will discuss the value of PSM VS CSM. Firstly, what is scrum master? It’s a key facilitator role in todays scrum teams that helps practice scrum and endorse scrum values. Scrum Certification is one way in further understanding this role. CSM – Certified Scrum Master – Is a 2 days course that allows delegates to gain foundational knowledge about scrum and scrum masters role. PSM – Professional Scrum Master – Is a fantastic 2 day course that allows delegates to gain foundational to intermediate skills of scrum mastery. All of the above courses are certified scrum master training courses that are well recognised and renowned around the world. This video looks at how to become a certified scrum master as well as a pros and cons of each course. But deciding which agile scrum master course is very difficult for beginners and this video goes into further detail on what you want to consider before investing into scrum master role. All of these two-day courses provide phenomenal insights into the life and theory of a scrum master. However attending these two-day courses is not enough, you Will also need the skills tools and techniques that experts like myself who is a long standing Agile Coach have picked up over the last 10 years. In order to truly master scrum, your have to practically demonstrate each of the following with real effectiveness: • Scrum Sprint Planning • Scrum Sprint Review • Scrum Sprint Daily Stand Up • Scrum Sprint Retrospective • Scrum Sprint Backlog Refinement • Scrum Product Owner • Scrum Master Role • Scrum Development Team • Scrum Artefacts (Sprint Increment, Sprint Backlog, Scrum Product Backlog) Roles Of Scrum: The scrum master is one of the most important roles in the scrum framework. This is because the scrum master is the key player in terms of scrum coaching for the team and for the rest of the organisation. In the scrum methodology the scrum master is the person who protects the team, coaches the scrum team and the scrum product owner. The scrum framework is typically used in scrum software engineering projects. The scrum product owner is a business representative who gathers the business requirements in a agile way of working which fits into the scrum methodology. The scrum and development team work in an agile way to deliver software iteratively and incrementally. This development team typically is composed of 3-9 individuals. Collectively the scrum master, product owner and development team use the scrum principles and scrum and methodology to develop complex software and systems in an iterative and incremental way. The scrum master is a special role for the agile scrum team who effectively increases empowerment, communication, coordination and cooperation through the scrum team and throughout the organisation. The product owner is a visionary business representative who reflects requirements in customer centric user stories for clarity. #Scrum #ScrumMaster #ScrumMasterTraining #Certification #Agile

  1. Hey Suhayb, this video has opened my eyes to some of the issues you mentioned. I was originally planning to take PSM training but after watching this, i would like your advice. Please let me know your recommendations? Thanks

    1. This is a valid question. I would recommend to check up other certifications on the market that have a wider scope that PSM / CSM, if you need further help, directly message me

    2. @Suhayb thanks for your message. Can you recommend any? I actually want career progression, i want to earn more money and gain more authority than my current role… please any guidance?

  2. Ești un idol SEXTINDER.Uno mereu în inima mea 💋 frumos, dragoste, alegere, cultural. Sunt unul dintreo cele mai bune concerte….

  3. So is there a scrum master certification that you can Personally recommend?

    1. I would personally recommend any course that helps you achieve your goals. What are your goals currently?

    2. @Suhayb i understand your point but as you know there are sooo many on the market and with sales people telling you its the best since sliced bread, its very difficult to distinguish whats really good. Please any advice on this?

    3. Hey @sarah roberts – This is a problem! You are correct. I can only recommend that you conduct your research before taking any course. Also find out about who the instructor is and if you like their coaching style etc. There are many things that can be done in this area but at the end of the day, you need to ensure you are receiving education that you can actually learn from.

    1. Hey thanks for your reply. its true, because on the job practical is totally different as you have other areas you need to worry about too. Whats your take on the courses as of now?

    2. @Suhayb agreed! Even in my current role, the theory does not match then application of it! I think your coaching suggestions are correct and i might be contacting you soon about that 👍

  4. Hey, i understand where you coming from. What do you recommend for someone who is looking to change careers?

    1. There are many things you can do, the question comes back to what are your goals?

    2. @Suhayb thanks for swift reply. I actually want to change jobs to earn more money. As you correctly said, inflation is going up and living costs are up too. I need to find something that will grow my career and allows me to support my family. Please any guidance is much appreciated

  5. Great explanation, do you give private scrum master course? Do you have certain dates ? Also can you please help with CV writing?

    1. Hey Nothing Written – Absolutely! Feel free to check out the link to learn more about courses you can take and coaching session. And CV help is the one talent of mines;) Let me know if you have any more questions?

    2. @Suhayb amazing just another question, do I need a degree to study scrum master? Also is scrum master better that PMP? Do you also teach PMP? What is the best course to study in your own opinion? Which course will be the most popular in coming years? Thank you 😊

    1. Hey Tania – thanks for the question. The world we live in has become increasingly more and more competitive and this is causing all sorts of issues. Globalisation has also meant increased access to cheap labour that has subsquently displaced local populations into worser living conditions. If you approach the job market with this mind and bring what you have to offer, it can create a totally different perspective. I would always recommend taking a coaching session as it can completely change your attack. Feel free to directly contact me;)

  6. Whats you opinion on agile project management courses? Are they worth it?

    1. Hey, thank you so much for your question. Some of them are good but it really depends on what you looking for?

    1. Hey Ahsan – salesforce in the right country does make alot of money 💰 where you currently based? Please reply

    2. Nice 👌 dude salesforce is huge. I would definitely recommend them as it’s actually a product that companies use and its in demand 👍 what you think?

    1. @Sajeena Anything to do with digital transformation is very good. What industry are you in? So i can better accomodate for your question…

    2. @Sajeena Ahhh ok – For career development I fully recommend scrum master training and then try to jump to project management and lastly digital transfromation. Does that makes sense?

    3. @Suhayb thank you! Digital transformation you mean? May you please help on this

  7. Hi Suhayb, what does it cost to get a coaching from someone who is not currently working but wants to gain some experience in Scrum?

  8. This is what happened with PMP. Any time academia gets involved with Certification Training, it gets taken in a direction almost 180 degrees out of phase from the reality of the job requirements.

    1. Yes you are correct – there is a focus on academia rather than reality as you correctly said. I fully understand where you coming from on this issue. Which industry you in?
