Frequently asked questions

Will this training prepare me for PSM I or PSPO I?

The content covers the Scrum framework that those assessments are based on, and the trainer holds PSM I, PSM II and PSPO I. However, it is not an official preparation course and no certification outcome is guaranteed.

Is it theoretical?

No. Most of the time is spent simulating Sprints, refining backlogs and writing user stories on realistic cases.

Can you coach our team after the training?
