Professional Scrum MasterY and
Certified Large-Scale Scrum Practitioner

Scaling from one Scrum team to large multi-team effective product development

The Professional Scrum MasterY and Certified Large-Scale Scrum Practitioner is an interactive, activity-based course that covers the principles and empirical process theory underpinning the Scrum framework. It develops a deep understanding of the underlying principles of Scrum and the Agile mindset while learning the practices applied by successful Scrum Teams.

Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) builds on top of the Scrum principles and empirical process theory, and is covering in-depth the LeSS principles, framework, rules, and guides. It provides essential information for adopting and improving LeSS to your entire, large and multi-team product development group.

What You Will Learn

Students develop a deep understanding of the underlying principles of Scrum and LeSS while learning the practices applied by successful Scrum Teams.

Throughout the course, students are challenged to think in terms of the Scrum and LeSS principles to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace.

The course is much more than just a set of slides and two instructors. In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises based upon real-life cases. Added to this, the trainers bring their experiences and stories to the class and use their skills as professional trainers to deliver the material using their own unique delivery style. The result is an engaging, enjoyable learning experience where students gain a deep understanding of the Scrum and LeSS theory and principles.
