The Professional Scrum Master curriculum starts with the fundamentals of Scrum so students can learn common concepts and vocabulary used by most Scrum professionals. You’ll also learn how to apply Scrum in a Scrum team and what it means to execute projects with Scrum specifications.

The PSM II assessment tests your ability to use the Scrum matrix for bigger, real-world problems. Next, the PSM III assessment is the step where you prove you can coach and mentor teams, which is vital for advancing in your career as a Scrum Master.

Who should use it: Those who want to get started as professional Scrum Masters should take the PSM I assessment. It’s a great catch-all learning experience for Scrum Masters. After passing that test, they can move forward into the PSM II and PSM III assessments and advance further in their careers.
