SCRUM and Agile: a widely used tool software delivery framework
Scrum is today the most widely adopted agile framework worldwide, particularly for software development, digital product and service teams. With its structuring roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Developers), its rhythmic events (Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective) and its artefacts (Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment), Scrum brings a clear framework to deliver value in short cycles, integrate user feedback and adapt continuously.
In French-speaking Switzerland, Geneva private banks, international organisations around Lake Geneva, scale-ups, IT service companies, SaaS scale-ups, cantonal administrations and pharmaceutical industries structure their product teams around Scrum. ITTA offers a SCRUM and Agile catalogue covering all Scrum.org roles and levels, complemented by modules dedicated to experienced Product Owners.
Following a recognised Scrum training opens access to highly valued roles: Scrum Master, Product Owner, Agile Coach, Release Train Engineer (SAFe), Product Manager, digital product manager, transformation manager. Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master (PSM I, PSM II, PSM III), Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I, PSPO II, PSPO III) and Professional Scrum Developer (PSD) certifications are recognised worldwide and particularly valued on the Swiss market which massively adopts agile practices.
Whether you are a developer seeking to understand your Scrum framework, an operational manager transitioning to a Product Owner role, a project manager evolving to Scrum Master, a senior Agile Coach or an HR executive in charge of organisational transformation, our SCRUM and Agile training in Geneva and Lausanne covers all roles and effectively prepares the official Scrum.org certifications.
SCRUM and Agile catalogue at ITTA
Introduction to Scrum and fundamentals
The path starts with Introduction to Scrum, covering the fundamentals of the Agile Manifesto, Scrum values and principles, roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Developers), events (Sprint, Planning, Daily, Review, Retrospective) and artefacts (Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment, Definition of Done). It is the natural entry for any collaborator involved in a Scrum team, regardless of role.
Scrum Master (PSM I) and Scrum Master II
The Scrum Master (PSM) path prepares for the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master I certification. The programme covers rigorous application of the Scrum Guide, facilitation of Scrum events, coaching of the Developers team, service to the organisation, Scrum anti-patterns and impediment resolution. The Scrum Master II path deepens the PSM II level: advanced coaching, advanced metrics, scaling Scrum (Nexus, LeSS, basic SAFe), supporting Product Owners and Developers in complex environments.
Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I) and PSPO II
The Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) path prepares for the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Product Owner I certification. The programme covers product vision, Product Backlog management, value-based prioritisation, user story writing, delivered value measurement, stakeholder collaboration and work with the Developers team. The Scrum Product Owner II path deepens the PSPO II level: Product Discovery, advanced Product Strategy, complex stakeholder management, product metrics (NPS, AARRR, OKR), Lean Startup and experimentation.
Scrum Master and Product Owner (PSMPO)
The combined Scrum Master and Product Owner (PSMPO) path covers both roles in parallel, ideal for profiles wishing to understand both perimeters or holding both roles in start-up and small team contexts. It is also an excellent format for Agile Coaches supporting both profile types.
SCRUM Agile and the publisher ecosystem at ITTA
Scrum fits into a broader agile ecosystem. The agile and Scrum sub-domain regroups all our Scrum, Kanban and SAFe training. For project managers in charge of complex transformations, the project management sub-domain (PMI, Prince2) brings a complementary framework for non-agile projects. The business analysis sub-domain brings functional analysis skills often expected of the Product Owner. For the human dimension of transformation, change management (APMG Change Management) is a valuable complement. Dev profiles applying Scrum daily will benefit from DevOps development and CI/CD versioning delivery.
SCRUM and Agile trends in 2026
Scrum remains the most widely adopted agile framework in 2026. Scrum.org certifications (PSM, PSPO, PSD) remain widely used on the international market, competing with Scrum Alliance (CSM, CSPO). Agile scaling frameworks (SAFe, LeSS, Nexus) continue to deploy in large organisations. The Product Owner role gains strategic stature (Product Manager, Head of Product). Discovery practices (Continuous Discovery, dual-track agile) generalise alongside Delivery. The integration of generative AI transforms backlog management (user story generation, discovery summary). Retrospectives gain sophistication with varied formats. Our pedagogical content regularly integrates these evolutions to remain aligned with current practices.

FAQ
Which Scrum certification to choose to start?
For a beginner profile discovering Scrum, Introduction to Scrum is the natural entry. For a future Scrum Master, PSM I is the target. For a future Product Owner, PSPO I is the target. For profiles holding both roles (start-ups, small teams), the combined PSMPO path is relevant. Our pedagogical team guides you according to your target role.
Scrum.org or Scrum Alliance: what is the difference?
Scrum.org (founded by Ken Schwaber, co-creator of Scrum) and Scrum Alliance are the two main Scrum certification bodies. Scrum.org offers PSM, PSPO and PSD, with a rigorous exam and no mandatory renewal. Scrum Alliance offers CSM, CSPO and CSD, with biennial renewal. Both certifications are recognised worldwide. Our catalogue is aligned with Scrum.org standards.
PSM I or PSM II: when to take the higher level?
PSM I validates solid understanding of the Scrum Guide, accessible to any profile having followed good training. PSM II validates the ability to apply Scrum in complex situations (anti-patterns, scaling, matrix organisations), accessible after practical experience as Scrum Master. Our Scrum Master II training specifically prepares for PSM II.
