Professional Scrum Master II Training Course Syllabus
Over the 2 days, students will learn about areas critical to growing
as a successful Scrum Master such as how the principles and values of
Scrum help guide Scrum Masters in the decisions they make and how the
Scrum Master can help change the environment of Scrum Teams, creating an
environment for agility to thrive. 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.
As a Scrum Master, part of your role is to help management
and other stakeholders across your organization understand the benefits
of Scrum and Agile. Therefore, it is imperative that you have the
information and background that is needed to gain credibility in order
to be an effective change agent. Throughout the class, your PST will
provide stories, exercises, facilitation techniques (such as “Liberating
Structures”), resources and more.
There will also be time in class for the Professional Scrum
Trainer (PST) to provide coaching on challenges that you and your
classmates may be experiencing today or may in the future.
