I often receive a question from people asking – WHY one should attend a PSM training when it is not mandatory for taking the certification?
When I was introduced to Scrum in my organization in 2010-11, I assumed that the role of a Scrum Master is that of a “Scrum Secretary”, the person responsible for taking notes, updating JIRA boards, scheduling events and so on.
I lived in that bubble for the next couple of years without making much change or creating any impact as a Scrum Master.
Also, it gave me clarity on a variety of skills that I needed to acquire to become a change agent who could create business impact.Having said that and now being a Professional Scrum Trainer, let me share my top 5 reasons why anyone should attend a training.Active Learning: The way grown-ups learn is much different from how kids learn.
When we read a book or a white paper, we read it with our own biases and make assumptions about many things through our own lens of the world.
The Scrum Guide which is the go-to source for Scrum has left many things for readers interpretation.
