Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I)

The Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) course is a globally recognized foundational program designed to develop a deep understanding of Scrum theory, values, practices, and the Scrum Master accountability. The PSM I certification is administered by Scrum.org and validates a professional's ability to apply Scrum effectively in real-world situations, support Scrum Teams, and enable continuous improvement.
