🧭 Sound familiar?
Rose has been a Scrum Master for seven years.
She is good at her job. Her teams trust her. She knows how to hold space in a difficult retrospective, how to ask the question that unlocks a Sprint Planning deadlock, how to coach a Product Owner who keeps confusing output with outcome.
Then one morning she arrives at Sprint Planning and discovers something unsettling.
The Product Owner has used AI to order the entire product backlog. The team stares at the board in silence. Nobody knows why certain items are at the top. Nobody can explain the logic. And the team, her team, refuses to take ownership of a plan made by an invisible hand.
Rose knows how to facilitate tension. But this tension is different. This isn't about personalities or priorities. It is about trust in a process that nobody fully understands.
She realises something in that moment: AI hasn't just changed how her team works. It has changed the rules of the game she has spent seven years mastering.
And she has two choices.
Wait and see what happens. Or get ahead of it.
Most Scrum Masters are watching AI change the game from the sideline. This course puts you on the field, with real scenarios, real AI tools, and real stakes, so you leave not just understanding AI but leading with it. Confidently. Ethically. Without losing what makes you irreplaceable.
🔥 The Scrum Master is not dead. But the role is evolving fast.
You have probably heard the headlines. "AI will replace Scrum Masters." "Agile is dead." "Why pay a facilitator when ChatGPT can write your retro agenda?"
Here is the truth: the job title may evolve, but the leadership cannot be automated.
AI cannot read the room. It cannot hold silence. It cannot notice the person who hasn't spoken in forty minutes. It cannot build the trust that makes a team feel safe enough to surface what is really wrong.
What AI can do, if you know how to use it, is make every part of your Scrum Master work sharper, faster, and more impactful.
The Scrum Masters who thrive in the next five years will not be the ones who avoided AI. They will be the ones who learned to lead with it while keeping the human side of Scrum at the centre.
This course is for Rose. And it is for you.
🎯 What makes this course different from every other PSM-AIE listing
🏟️ You get off the sidelines and into the game. Real scenarios on live Miro boards, not slide decks, not case studies. You open an AI tool, you run the exercise, you see what happens, and you debrief what it means for your team. This is learning by doing, the way Scrum intended.
⚡ You walk away with a superpower your team will notice immediately. Using the CRAFTS framework, you build a structured prompt library you can share with your team the very next day. Participants from previous cohorts told us this single framework changed how they think about every AI interaction. Not eventually. From the next morning.
🔍 You discover that the real problems are rarely what they appear to be. You navigate the Invisible Hand scenario, the exact Sprint Planning deadlock Rose experienced, and uncover that the tension underneath runs much deeper than anyone in the room expected. This is where great Scrum Masters earn their reputation.
🎤 You gain the confidence to walk into any room in the organisation and lead. Not just the Scrum team. Management level. Executive conversations. Outcome focused, no fluff, all guided by AI. You become the person people look to when the conversation gets hard.
🔄 You experience something most AI courses would never dare try. You apply advanced prompting techniques that go far beyond what most courses cover, including one exercise where AI stops answering and starts asking you the powerful questions instead. It is uncomfortable. It is revealing. And it will change how you coach forever.
📣 You find your voice in the organisation, amplified. You will know how to send your message across to people at every level more effectively, using technology and AI as your ally rather than feeling left behind by it. AI becomes your collaborator, not your competition.
🛡️ You future-proof the quality standards your organisation depends on. You explore how AI has changed the Definition of Done, not just at the team level but at the corporate level. Because when AI is involved in delivery, the quality guardrails your organisation needs look very different to what they did two years ago. You leave knowing exactly what needs to change and how to lead that conversation.
🧿 You see situations more clearly than you ever have before. Using Six Thinking Hats guided by AI, you learn to assess any situation from six distinct perspectives, staying neutral, staying unbiased, and staying focused on what actually drives change. This is the kind of clarity that makes other people wonder how you always seem to know the right move.
⚖️ You stand on the right side of history. You examine real cases of AI gone wrong, not hypothetical scenarios but actual individuals, real companies, and government institutions around the world that used AI unethically and faced serious consequences. You will also explore the environmental impact of AI and why that conversation is already making its way into boardrooms. You leave knowing how to protect your team, your organisation, and your professional integrity.
🚀 You scale your influence well beyond the team. Using Evidence-Based Management metrics guided by AI, you learn to generate small, targeted experiments that measurably improve organisational agility. You stop being the person who improves one team and start becoming the person who improves how the whole organisation works. That is a different career trajectory entirely.
And you do all of this through the lens of the five Scrum Master stances: Facilitator, Teacher, Coach and Mentor, Change Leader, and Ethical AI Guardian, because that is how you actually work. Not as a generic AI user. As a Scrum Master.
This is not a course about keeping up. It is a course about stepping up.
💡 Why this trainer. Why this class.
Joshua Partogi is a Scrum.org Professional Scrum Trainer and Co-Active Coach based in Australia, with over a decade of experience helping teams not just do Scrum but lead through it.
He is one of the few PSM-AIE trainers who brings a Co-Active Coaching lens to AI. That means the course doesn't just ask "what can AI do?" It asks "what does a servant leader do when AI is in the room?" and the answers are grounded in real coaching and facilitation practice, not theory.
Participants notice this difference immediately.
"If you want to understand the intersection of Scrum and AI, I highly recommend this class. Joshua is a fantastic trainer who brings a lot of energy to the curriculum. Beyond just learning new tools, I gained a deep understanding of how to coach teams through the complexities of AI, from ethical dilemmas to day-to-day facilitation." Dilek Arslanoğlu, Turkey
Every exercise in this course was refined with real Scrum Masters in real organisations. The scenarios, the tension points, the debrief questions, all of it comes from what actually happens when Scrum teams start using AI, not from what a curriculum committee imagined might happen. Joshua brings his own experiences and hard-won lessons into every session, making the learning personal, contextual, and immediately applicable.
"The trainer made the session very interactive and included a good amount of stuff from his experiences and learnings to help us look at how AI can be used by Scrum Masters in their different stances. This helped a lot." Bala L.A. Baalamurugan, India
The techniques you learn here are not theoretical constructs. They are tools you will reach for the very next day. One technique in particular, using AI to view a situation through multiple lenses simultaneously, has consistently been the breakthrough moment participants carry furthest into their professional lives.
"Particularly interesting to me was the application of AI to view a situation through multiple lenses simultaneously and in parallel. This is the one big takeaway I will carry forward into my professional life, as I see this approach can be applied in a number of situations. Aced the exam after a day's revision of the course materials." Steve Kingdon, New Zealand
This is not a course built on slides and good intentions. It is built on what actually works, tested live, with real Scrum Masters, in real rooms, refined with every cohort that has come through it.
"A must-attend for any Scrum Master looking to stay ahead of the curve."
📚 What you will learn, stance by stance
📚 What you will learn, stance by stance
🤝 Scrum Master as Facilitator
AI can prepare your facilitation design, generate divergent questions, and surface blind spots before you even walk into the room. But here is what AI will never do: hold group accountability, navigate the groan zone, or notice the thing nobody is saying out loud.
That is where you come in. And this course makes you extraordinary at it.
You will work through the Diamond of Facilitation model and discover exactly how AI supports divergence, convergence, and decision-making without quietly stealing ownership away from the team. You will learn to use AI as your preparation partner while keeping your human presence at the centre of every conversation that matters.
The centrepiece exercise is the Invisible Hand scenario, a Sprint Planning session where the team refuses to own an AI-ordered backlog and everything grinds to a halt. You will discover how to surface the real tension, restore transparency, and uncover the systemic issue hiding underneath it all. And here is the spoiler that changes how you think about every difficult room you will ever walk into: it is almost never about the AI.
📚 Scrum Master as Teacher
Here is the uncomfortable truth about teaching in the age of AI: your team can now get answers instantly without you. So the question is no longer whether you have the right answer. The question is whether you can design a learning experience that AI cannot replicate.
That is a higher bar. And this course helps you clear it.
You will use the 3x3 Framework with AI to transform a vague Product Vision into a rich, full strategic picture covering market status, customer needs, analogies, solution advantages, and ethics. You will practise adapting the same explanation for completely different audiences in a single prompt. You will explore how to create explainer videos, onboarding materials, and multilingual content for global teams using tools that most Scrum Masters have never thought to open.
When you leave this stance, your team will not just understand Scrum better. They will understand it in a way that actually sticks.
🧭 Scrum Master as Coach and Mentor
Your personal stories. Your hard-won experience. The war stories from the teams that almost fell apart and the ones that surprised everyone. AI does not have those. It never will. That is your irreplaceable edge, and this course helps you use it with more precision than ever before.
What AI can do is help you prepare for the conversations your team is not ready to have yet, and help you ask better questions than you would have thought of alone.
You will practise coaching stance reversal, a technique where you flip the dynamic entirely so AI generates ICF-standard coaching questions and turns them back on you. It is one of the most confronting and most valuable exercises in the course. You will apply Six Thinking Hats with AI to see any situation from six distinct perspectives simultaneously, staying neutral and unbiased even when the room is anything but. And you will learn exactly where the line between coaching and mentoring sits, and how to use AI powerfully on both sides of it.
You will leave this stance not just as a better coach. As a more self-aware one.
📈 Scrum Master as Change Leader
This is where you stop improving one team and start improving how the whole organisation works.
You will use Evidence-Based Management metrics and AI to build an airtight case for organisational improvement, grounded in data and evidence rather than gut feel and opinion. You will use Tree of Thought prompting where AI simultaneously plays three distinct roles: Throughput Optimizer, Value Maximizer, and Team Health Advocate, generating competing hypotheses, stress-testing each other's assumptions, and synthesising recommendations that no single perspective could have reached alone.
You will also leave with a Definition of Done fully updated for the AI era, complete with human verification checkpoints, model knowledge cutoff checks, prompt transparency requirements, and unambiguous accountability for AI-generated defects. Not just for your team. At the corporate level, across every team in the organisation.
This is the stance that changes your career trajectory.
⚖️ Scrum Master as Ethical AI Guardian
The critical new stance. The one no other PSM-AIE course goes deep enough on.
Your team does not just need productivity tips for using AI. They need guardrails. They need governance. And they need a Scrum Master who has the knowledge and the courage to build both.
This stance does not deal in hypotheticals. You will work through real cases where real organisations caused real harm through irresponsible AI use, including a global corporation whose recruiting tool discriminated against thousands of candidates, a legal team that cited cases in court that never existed, and a media organisation that published AI-generated content without a single human check. You will examine the environmental cost of AI and why that conversation is already reaching boardroom level. You will understand why bias in AI is not a glitch waiting to be fixed but a feature of the data it was built on.
And then you will do something about it. You will practise six prompting techniques that surface hidden assumptions, reduce hallucinations, and protect your team from the consequences of moving too fast without thinking clearly.
This stance is not optional. It is not an advanced topic for later. It is a core professional capability for the world your teams are already operating in, right now, whether your organisation is ready or not.
The Scrum Masters who master this stance are the ones organisations will trust to lead AI adoption at scale.
🙋 Who this training is perfect for
✅ Scrum Masters who feel the ground shifting and want to get ahead of it rather than react to it
✅ Agile Coaches who want a structured, stance-based approach rather than a collection of AI tips
✅ Leaders responsible for helping teams adopt AI responsibly without losing transparency and accountability
✅ Anyone with solid Scrum knowledge who wants practical skills they can use next week, not next year
No technical background required. You do not need to understand machine learning, neural networks, or any engineering concept. If you can facilitate a retrospective and coach a team through conflict, you have everything you need to walk into this course.
🏆 What you will walk away with
By the end of this course, Rose and you will have something most Scrum Masters only wish they had.
🎯 The clarity to make the call others hesitate on. You will know instinctively when AI makes you sharper and when human judgement is the only right answer. That confidence is what separates a good Scrum Master from a trusted one.
📁 A prompt library that works as hard as you do. Your personal CRAFTS-based collection of prompts for Scrum events, coaching conversations, and facilitation design, built during the course and ready to use the very next morning. Not a template someone else made. Yours, shaped around the way you work.
⚖️ Ethics knowledge with teeth. Not abstract principles but real situations, real companies, real consequences, and the exact prompting techniques that prevent the same mistakes from happening in your organisation. You will walk into any AI governance conversation with authority.
✅ A Definition of Done that protects your organisation in the AI era. Updated with governance checkpoints, bias checks, hallucination prevention, and clear accountability guardrails. Ready to adopt at team level and scale to corporate level. This alone is worth the price of admission.
🧠 Advanced techniques that will make people ask how you do it. Tree of Thought prompting, Six Thinking Hats with AI, coaching stance reversal. Techniques that go far beyond anything in a standard AI course and far beyond what most Scrum Masters even know exists.
💪 The confidence to lead, not just participate. You will facilitate AI-assisted sessions without losing the human touch, lead AI adoption conversations without losing the room, and build the case for responsible AI governance without losing your credibility. This is what stepping up looks like.
📜 A globally recognised certification included. A free PSM-AI Essentials certification attempt is included, with an 85% pass mark required. Sit within 14 days and a second attempt is yours at no extra cost if you need it.
