Scrum Master & Product Owner (English, preparation for PSM1 and PSPO1 exams)

This 2 day course is an effective way for preparing you for both exams PSM1 (professional scrum master) and PSPO1 (professional scrum product owner).

Why do you need both certifcations? It perpetuates that you know things about the scrum master role and the product owner role. And when applying for a job , or trying to obtain an order from a customer, you can show you certifications.

What are we gonna do in this course?

• First you will receive digital materiaals and a preparation assignment about Scrum and Aagile;  to read about Scrum ad Agile working and try to complete 30 pre-exam questions.
• On day 1 we focus on scrum theorie, discuss 80 pre-exam question for scrum master. exam, look into the scrum master roles and responsibilities. 
• between the lessons we will give homework to do, just try some exam questions an somes cases at home.
• on day 2, look into a little bit of residual theory, discuss homework and focus on the product owner role and responsabilities We discuss ver a  100 pre-exam questions.
• after the course you will receive (via Wetransfer) several standard books about scrum and agile working, and will recieve more than 250 extra question with  answer motivations to prepare for both the exams.

This combination of theory about scrum master and product owner behavior is possible due to the fact that 80% of the questions on both exam are the same (with different order of answer options, or slightly deviating meaning). So be effficient and take both exams!
