What changes for your team

  • Use AI to run Scrum events with less friction
  • Become the Scrum Master who helps teams adopt AI safely
  • Stand out with AI-ready Scrum mastery

Immersive training pays back differently to a two-day course. Sessions spread across several weeks mean each idea is applied in your real work before the next one lands — so capability builds instead of fading under a backlog. Why immersive produces better returns →  ·  Other formats available in the panel above.

Your teams are already using AI — but you’re not helping them do it well

While your teams experiment with AI tools in isolation, competitors are integrating AI systematically into every Sprint. While you facilitate the same Retrospectives, other Scrum Masters use AI to surface deeper insights in minutes. While organisations struggle to adopt AI responsibly, forward-thinking Scrum Masters are becoming the people who make it work. Every week without practical AI capability widens the gap between effective and obsolete.

Stop watching AI reshape your role from the sidelines

Every day without AI capability puts you further behind Scrum Masters who are already integrating it into their facilitation and coaching

Hours

Wasted weekly on preparation AI handles instantly

Days

Slower insights without AI-powered retrospective analysis

Zero

Confidence enabling teams to experiment with AI responsibly

You need practical AI capability, not theoretical knowledge

You need to know which AI tools amplify facilitation, coaching, and team enablement — and which are distractions. You need confidence to experiment with AI, guide your teams through adoption responsibly, and help your organisation leverage AI’s capabilities without the ethical pitfalls. This course builds that capability through hands-on practice with real tools, not abstract theory.

You’ll enable teams and facilitate events with less effort and more impact

Stop avoiding AI tools because you don’t know where to start. Stop wasting hours preparing facilitation manually. Stop worrying about ethical missteps when helping teams adopt AI. You’ll have the confidence to integrate AI into your daily Scrum Master work and lead your teams through adoption without looking incompetent or reckless.

The constraints you’ll remove

Stop over-preparing facilitation manually

Reclaim hours every Sprint by using AI to generate prompts, surface patterns, and prepare Scrum events so you focus on the conversation, not the logistics

Surface team insights faster

Cut through noise using AI-powered analysis that identifies team dynamics and retrospective themes you’d miss or take days to find manually

Enable AI experimentation without chaos

Give your team a structured, safe way to experiment with AI tools, avoiding the ad-hoc adoption that creates inconsistency and ethical risk

Lead AI adoption without fear of mistakes

Confidently guide your team through responsible AI use, avoiding the privacy violations and bias amplification that derail other adoptions

Stay relevant as AI reshapes the Scrum Master role

Avoid role obsolescence by integrating AI into your daily work before it becomes the baseline expectation for every Scrum Master

Why this works when other AI training doesn’t

Most AI training dumps theory and leaves you paralysed. This builds confidence through practice with real tools, real facilitation challenges, and real team dynamics you face.
You apply AI tools immediately: No theory dumps, use tools from minute one
Real Scrum Master challenges: Face decisions you’ll encounter in your actual team
Reusable techniques: Leave with methods you’ll use in your next Sprint
20+ years pattern recognition: Martin connects theory to messy reality
Ethical guardrails built in: Enable AI adoption without exposing your team to risk
The bottleneck isn’t knowledge about AI. It’s confidence to use it without looking incompetent or making costly mistakes. This removes that constraint.

You’ll know which AI tool solves which Scrum Master challenge

Facilitation preparation? Retrospective insight? Coaching conversations? Team AI adoption? Organisational ethics? You’ll instantly know which AI approach works and which wastes time. No more tool-switching hoping something sticks.

Is this for you?

You’re a Scrum Master or Agile Coach watching AI reshape team dynamics. You’re spending too much time on preparation that AI handles in seconds. You need practical capability this week, not theory you’ll never use. You want confidence to lead AI adoption without making career-ending ethical mistakes.

Not recommended for: Those seeking deep machine-learning content or data-science training. This course focuses on using generative AI tools as a Scrum Master, not building AI systems.

Prerequisites: Foundational Scrum knowledge and experience as a Scrum Master recommended. Familiarity with the PSM course or equivalent is assumed. Bring curiosity and willingness to experiment.

Avoid the career-ending AI mistakes others are making right now

Privacy violations. Bias amplification. Misinformation in team coaching. Reputational damage. You’ll know where the traps are and how to avoid them. Enable AI adoption without exposing yourself, your team, or your organisation to catastrophic risk.

“A Scrum Master’s job is to make the team more effective — AI is the most powerful tool for that in a generation. This course teaches you how to use it without getting burned.”

Certification validates capability, not the other way around

You’ll receive the globally recognised PSM-AI Essentials certification (assessment attempts included). That validates what you can do. The real value is enabling your team to use AI effectively from day one — with confidence, not confusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

The PSM-AI course is designed for Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches with a solid understanding of Scrum who want to learn practical ways to integrate AI into their everyday work. It isn’t suitable for those seeking advanced machine learning or data science content, or for people with no prior experience working on a Scrum Team.

The course includes a free attempt at the PSM-AI Essentials assessment (minimum 85% to pass); if you take the exam within 14 days and don’t pass, you get a second attempt at no extra cost.

You should already be experienced working on a Scrum Team and have a solid grasp of Scrum fundamentals; prior Scrum Master training and certification is recommended but not mandatory.

The course and certification are issued by Scrum.org, a globally recognised body for Professional Scrum training, ensuring your PSM-AI Essentials credential is respected by employers and clients alike.

PSM-AI is highly interactive and hands-on, with discussions and exercises focused on applying AI concepts and tools directly to Scrum Master activities.
