Professional Scrum Master Lausanne, Jun 3-4, 2020


Course Overview

The "Professional Scrum Master" (PSM) course offered by Pyxis is the first significant update of the "Certified Scrum Master" (CSM) course that Ken Schwaber introduced and shared in 2002. As in the original course, the framework, mechanics, and roles of Scrum—the most popular Agile approach—are covered. The course then goes further by teaching participants how to use Scrum to optimize value, productivity, and the total cost of ownership of systems and products. Participants will learn through instruction and team-based exercises, and will be challenged to think on their feet to better understand what to do when they return to their respective workplaces.

Price: CHF 1990

Early Bird Price: CHF 1692 until May 3, 2020
