Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) - Baku

THE PROFESSIONAL SCRUM MASTER II (PSM II ) WORKSHOP
Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II ) is a 2-day workshop that covers the principles and (empirical) process theory underpinning the Scrum framework, and the role of the Scrum Master in it. This course is a combination of instruction and team-based exercises. Many of the exercises apply Liberating Structures.

Over an intensive 2 days, students will see why PSM II is the cutting-edge workshop for effective Scrum Masters and for anyone coaching a software development team toward increased efficiency and effectiveness.

Throughout the course, students are challenged to think in terms of the Scrum principles to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace. The PSM course is interactive, experiential, and uses techniques from "Training from the Back of the Room". In this workshop, students work on real-life cases with other workshop-attendees together as a team. This 2-day-session is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases.

AN ADVANCED SCRUM MASTER CLASS, WITH LIBERATING STRUCTURES
Professional Scrum Master II TM (PSM II) course is a 2-day advanced Scrum Master workshop designed to support Scrum Masters in their professional development. The PSM II course is intended for Scrum Masters with at least one year of experience who are looking to grow their knowledge and abilities as a Scrum Master. This course is one step in that journey. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) certification exam.

Unlike the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) course which focuses on how to use Scrum, the Scrum framework and the role of the Scrum Master, PSM II is an advanced course helping students to understand the stances that characterize an effective Scrum Master and servant-leader while diving deep into how they serve the Development Team, Product Owner and organization. The course then teaches students about related practices and skills to enable them to have the right types of conversations and how to apply them to become better Scrum Masters.

What You Will Learn
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 - but not as an event facilitator because hopefully the Scrum Master is not requested/needed to facilitate those (well ok, maybe the Sprint Retrospective but even that could be facilitated by any Scrum Team member)
The Scrum Master as a Change Agent
The Product Owner does not clarify requirements
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 to 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 workshop, your PST will provide stories, exercises, facilitation techniques (such as “Liberating Structures”), resources and more.

There will also be some time in the workshop for the Professional Scrum Trainer (PST), John Coleman, to provide coaching on some challenges that you and fellow attendees may be experiencing today or may in the future.
