PSM I

Everything the official exam blueprint specifies: question count, time limit, scoring and the weight each domain carries. The Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) certification from Scrum.org validates a candidate's fundamental knowledge of the Scrum framework and their ability to apply it effectively in real-world situations. Passing the rigorous, evidence-based assessment demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of Scrum roles, events, artifacts, and principles. It is the most widely recognized entry-level certification for Scrum Masters and team members seeking to prove their Scrum proficiency. The exam measures not just theoretical recall but the practical application of Scrum through complex scenario-based questions. Achieving PSM I signifies that the holder can operate as an effective Scrum Master, help teams deliver value, and foster an environment of continuous improvement.
