I completed my Professional Scrum Master (PSM) Level II certification. I wanted real-world applied knowledge and from some like Rob, an Agile Coach, who is a master of test automation techniques. While online solutions from various technical forums can be helpful, these are not always relevant or reliable. Completing the PSM course gave me a solid point of reference. It was in depth and I learnt more about how far scrum could change the world of software engineering. From the course, I understood the resistance and anxiety felt by practitioners of waterfall frameworks. How has the PSM certification helped me? Greater depth of understanding. Knowing when to stay on particular jobs and when to leave. Ken Schwaber said that only 30% of all teams and organisations using scrum will become excellent development organisations. With each successive organisation I work with, my real-world experiences grow and the organisations themselves benefit from scrum. Visit our website PSM has helped me to realise which software I would want to spend months working on and which I would not".
