Exam Topics

The PSM I certification exam covers the questions that are united in the focus areas as defined in the Professional Scrum Competencies. Each of these domains unites the specific objectives that the candidates are required to study before attempting the test. The questions that appear in the exam ask you to interpret the meaning from the Scrum Guide or explain how you would apply Scrum within a Scrum Team. The focus areas included in the Professional Scrum Master level I test are outlined below:

• Developing People and Teams

  Within this focus area, the candidates need to prove their competency in self-organizing teams, facilitation, leadership styles, coaching & mentoring. This domain contains practical approaches to personal self-development that equip an individual with the knowledge and skills needed to increase team collaboration.

• Understanding and Applying the Scrum Framework

  This topic encompasses a good understanding of Scrum theory, how it is founded on empirical theory, a solid knowledge of Scrum principles and values, events, roles, artifacts, scaling and the Definition of Done (DoD). Effective usage of the Scrum framework requires a comprehension of the Scrum Values as well as the tenets of Empiricism to enhance the performance of the enterprise. The Scrum framework is made up of Scrum Teams as well as their corresponding Roles, Artifacts, and Events. Each of these elements within the framework has a specific function and is essential for its successful implementation.

• Managing Products with Agility

  Within this section, the practitioners should demonstrate their knowledge of product value, forecasting and release planning, product vision, product backlog management, business strategy, stakeholders and customers. The Product Vision helps align product development with the Business Strategy of an enterprise, including the strategic goals, while an emphasis on the Product Value deals with continuous improvements to the product.
