Where teams start
Most Popular Scrum.org Certifications
Most teams start with Professional Scrum Master I (PSM), rated Beginner, to give every Team Lead and professional the same Scrum Guide baseline. Experienced Scrum Masters then move to PSM II, and new Product Owners take PSPO I.
PSM I
Master the Scrum Framework and earn your PSM I certification in this expert‑led Professional Scrum Master I course. You’ll learn Scrum’s core principles (empirical process control, self-organization, collaboration, value-based prioritization, time-boxing, and iterative development) and how to coach, lead, and empower self‑managing teams. You’ll also develop skills in product vision, backlog management, continuous integration and delivery, and fostering agility across the organization. With bite-sized engaging lessons taught by experienced project manager Bob Mahler, you'll prepare for the PSM exam and build the Agile skills you need to lead with confidence.

Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II)
When delivery stalls, sprint reviews turn tense, or a team resists a new release cadence, the root cause is rarely a missed Scrum event. It is usually team dynamics, unclear accountability, or organizational systems. This intermediate course helps IT Directors and Training Managers develop experienced Scrum Masters who can read those signals and respond with sound judgment instead of quick fixes. Built for Scrum Masters, Agile Team Leads, and delivery leaders who already know Scrum fundamentals, the 11 skills cover coaching individuals and teams, facilitating difficult conversations, leading without formal authority, organizational systems thinking, scaling and dependencies, and evidence-based continuous improvement. Learners practice separating observable facts from assumptions, treating resistance as useful information, and influencing stakeholders across teams. The course closes with an integrated coaching simulation and final preparation for the Professional Scrum Master II assessment, including representative questions and a full-length practice assessment. At about 9.9 hours per learner, it fits a quarterly development plan, and Playlists and Team Reporting let Training Managers assign the path and track progress across the team.

Frequently asked questions about Scrum.org training
Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating Scrum.org training for their team.
Which roles and experience levels do these Scrum.org courses serve?
Professional Scrum Master I is rated Beginner and fits Team Leads, project managers, and IT professionals moving into Scrum Master or delivery-lead roles. Professional Scrum Master II is for experienced Scrum Masters and agile Team Leads. Professional Scrum Product Owner I is for IT Managers, Team Leads, product managers, and developers taking on product ownership.
Which Scrum.org certifications do the courses prepare a team for?
The three courses prepare learners for Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I), Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II), and Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I). Scrum.org issues the certification; CBT Nuggets prepares the learner for it.
How should a Training Manager sequence Scrum training across a team?
Assign PSM I first so everyone shares the Scrum Guide's model of roles, events, artifacts, and the definition of done. Move experienced Scrum Masters to PSM II for coaching, facilitation, and systemic problem diagnosis, and assign PSPO I to anyone who owns the product backlog.
How much time should we plan per learner?
Professional Scrum Master II runs about 9.9 hours across 11 skills, most under an hour each. Professional Scrum Product Owner I runs about 8 hours across 10 skills of roughly 45 to 56 minutes, which fits a two- to four-week assignment window.
What business problems does this training address for IT leaders?
The courses target common delivery issues: daily scrums turning into status meetings, unowned backlogs that lead to unrequested features and slipping release dates, and multi-team dependencies that stall delivery. A shared Scrum model helps teams forecast more reliably and align work with business goals.
How can we track team progress and completion?
Team reporting provides per-learner progress and completion, cohort and group views, and completion exports you can use as audit evidence. IT Trainerbot usage reporting also shows questions per member, top topics, and the training the answers came from.
