Your Guide to Passing the PSM I Assessment: Compliant with the Scrum Guide 2020

Your Guide to Passing the PSM I Assessment is your easy-to-read, comprehensive guide to passing the Professional Scrum Master - Level 1 (PSM I) assessment with Scrum.org. The assessment is well-known throughout the industry for being the most challenging entry-level Scrum Master certification on the market. Preparation is therefore key to passing the exam. There are no shortcuts to success!

This book focusses on preparing you to pass the PSM I assessment, although it does briefly touch on the differences between the three different PSM certification levels in Part 1.

Unlike a few other Scrum Master certifications, which are hard to fail, the PSM I is intentionally very hard to pass.

This book includes a Practice PSM I Assessment so you can test your readiness for the exam and concludes with some suggestions for what you should do once you've officially passed.

If you're interested in a specific topic, simply refer to that topic, but you will still need to have read and absorbed all the information in these pages to successfully pass the PSM I assessment. It's not meant to be read straight through, like a novel or a class curriculum. This is meant to be an active reference-a book you can flip through to find useful guidance on specific topics.
