Description

If one of your goals is to earn the most respected and well known certificate to demonstrates a fundamental level of Scrum mastery - the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) certificate - in Year 2024 or before the end of 2023 - then this course is for you!

Let's start with a few quick questions on scrum framework, shall we?

• Do you know empiricism and lean-thinking and how scrum is founded on these 2 concepts?

• What is the recommended team size of the scrum team?

• What is role of project manager in a scrum? Does PM role exists in scrum?

Hmm, let's try a few more.

• During the daily scrum, do the team has to answer the 3 questions? What did you do yesterday? What will you do today? and What (if anything) is blocking your progress?

• Who is accountable to maximize the business value of a product?

• Can the sprint be cancelled? If yes, under what circumstances?

• When does the next sprint begins? Immediately or only after the next sprint planning?

You may find questions in the Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1)Certification  exam on some of the above concepts which are lesser known. And using these practice tests, you will get an exposure to these and many other such less known but important scrum framework concepts and how to use those in a scrum team.

These Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1)  practice tests are based on latest Scrum guide 2020 edition, curated carefully to validate your understanding of the multiple and diverse topics for the  Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1)  exam.

What's Inside:

• 160 Practice Questions : Broken down into 4 tests of 40 questions, and is timed for 30 minutes, with 85% to pass it, same format and percentage you need to pass the real Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1) exam.

• Detailed Explanation : For each question, I have provided an in-depth explanations to strengthen your scrum knowledge and to make you understand Scrum's theory, principles, how to apply the scrum in a scrum team and how to succeed in Scrum Master's role

  
  

A sample question in these practice tests may looks like this,

An organization wants to use scrum for their software project's delivery. It never used scrum before.

Which of the following is recommended approach for this organization?

• An organization should try the scrum as it as is and determine if its philosophy, theory, and structure help to achieve goals and create value.

• An organization should start with scrum events first and only after few sprints, they should do full scrum

• An organization should start with scrum artifacts first and only after few sprints, they should do full scrum

• An organization should start with scrum roles first and only after few sprints, they should do full scrum

Explanation: Using Scrum as-is, without customization or significant alterations, is important for several reasons in ensuring a successful Scrum implementation.

• Scrum is built on a set of principles that emphasize transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Adhering to these principles is essential for Scrum to work effectively. When you customize Scrum too much, you risk diluting or compromising these principles.

• Scrum provides a common language and a well-defined set of roles, events, and artifacts. When teams and organizations use Scrum as-is, it ensures that everyone understands the same framework and can communicate more effectively.

• One of Scrum's goals is to optimize predictability. When used as-is, teams can better predict their capacity, track progress, and make realistic commitments, which are vital for project planning and delivery.

• Customizations often introduce added complexity and can create confusion. Simplicity is one of Scrum's core principles, and using Scrum as-is helps maintain this simplicity.

Hence, scrum guide 2020 edition recommends,

An organization should try the scrum as it as is and determine if its philosophy, theory, and structure help to achieve goals and create value.

Only starting with scrum events/roles/artifacts may  lead to inconsistencies that hinder team's collaboration and alignment, and the organization may not get all the benefits of scrum.

While Scrum allows for some flexibility and adaptation within its framework, it's important to be cautious about making changes that deviate significantly from its core principles and practices. When customizations are necessary, they should be done deliberately, with a clear understanding of the reasons and potential consequences, and in alignment with the Scrum values.

Reference: Scrum Guide 2020 Edition, Page 3

And this pattern/format you will see for all 160 questions, across the 4 practice tests.

I have used official Scrum reference material Scrum Guide 2020 Edition, as a source for creating these questions and I have included the references to the exact page number in the scrum guide so that you can read it and get used to the scrum language, which is key to pass the PSM 1 exam in 1st try.

If you start passing these practice exams with a consistent score of 85% or above - it is a good indication that you will be able to pass the Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1)  Exam too - as these practice tests cover all the aspects of the Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1)  Exam with similar difficulty level.

Come, join in & get ready to earn the coveted Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1) certificate - All the best!
