About this Exam
The Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) from Scrum.org is the most respected entry-level Scrum Master certification in the industry. It validates your foundational knowledge of the Scrum framework as defined in the Scrum Guide, including Scrum theory (empiricism and lean thinking), Scrum values (commitment, courage, focus, openness, respect), accountabilities (Scrum Master, Product Owner, Developers), events (Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective), and artifacts (Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Increment). The PSM I requires a deep understanding of the Scrum Guide — not just surface-level familiarity but the ability to apply Scrum principles to real-world scenarios. Questions often present situations where Scrum is being misapplied and ask you to identify the correct course of action. Unlike other Scrum certifications, the PSM I has no mandatory training requirement and has a challenging 85% passing threshold, making it a credible validation of Scrum knowledge.
