Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    • I’m new to the IT and software development world and want to get an overview of Agile and Scrum. Which is the best course for me?

      We’ve launched a free, one-day, live virtual workshop called Agile For Everyone. This 5-hour course gives an overview of Agile and Scrum fundamentals, and it’s completely free. Please visit the Agile for Everyone course page to learn more. No specific experience is required to take this online class and start your Agile journey.

  • Which certifications do you offer for Scrum Masters? What about for Product Owners?

    We offer both the Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) and Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I) certifications from Scrum.org. Or, earn both of these certifications at the same time with our Integrated Scrum Course. See the Integrated Scrum Course page for more details.

  • What is the Integrated Scrum Course (ISC)?

    Based on our experience in providing Scrum Master and Product Owner training separately for the last 8 years, we have discovered that the roles of Scrum Team members (including Scrum Master, Development Team, and Product Owner) are very tightly integrated. That’s why we’ve developed an exclusive, two-day program that covers everything you need to know about both the Scrum Master role and the Product Owner role.

    After the course, attendees have the option of earning their Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) certification, their Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I) certification, or both. Certification options are made available during registration.
