Getting ready to take the PSM™ I assessment
The PSM™ I assessment is an assessment offered by Scrum.org to certify a fundamental understanding of Scrum. PSM™ I certificate holders prove that they understand Scrum as described in the Scrum Guide and how to apply Scrum in Scrum Teams. There are no qualifications or preconditions needed to take the assessment. You don’t need to take a Scrum.org course to take the assessment (though it would certainly help). Scrum.org also offers two more Scrum Master assessments (PSM™ II and PSM™ III), which test more advanced Scrum knowledge. The assessment costs $200 and is taken online at https://www.scrum.org/professional-scrum-certifications/professional-scrum-master-assessments. You must be registered with Scrum.org to take the assessment. In case of failure, you can retake the assessment almost immediately. The $200 fee must, however, be paid every time you take the assessment.
