Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) practice exam

• Five Scrum events: Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective — purposes, timeboxes, attendees
• Three Scrum artifacts and their commitments: Product Backlog (Product Goal), Sprint Backlog (Sprint Goal), Increment (Definition of Done)
• Three Scrum Team accountabilities: Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developers — responsibilities and boundaries
• Scrum Team is one cohesive team of professionals; max 10 members; cross-functional and self-managing

• Self-managing teams: internal decisions about who, how, and what to work on
• Scrum Master as a true leader who serves the Scrum Team and the organisation
• Scrum Master services to the Product Owner, Developers, and the organisation (per Scrum Guide)
• Coaching, facilitating, removing impediments; what the Scrum Master does NOT do (e.g. assign tasks, manage people)

• Empiricism: transparency, inspection, adaptation; how each Scrum event embodies these pillars
• Lean thinking and uncertainty/complexity in product delivery
• Five Scrum values: commitment, focus, openness, respect, courage — and how the team lives them

• Product Owner owns the Product Backlog: ordering, transparency, content, accessibility
• Product Backlog refinement is an ongoing activity, not a Scrum event
• Product Goal as a long-term objective; how it relates to Sprint Goals
• Estimating, ordering, and adapting items as more is learned

• Definition of Done as a formal commitment of the Increment; created by the organisation or the Scrum Team
• How DoD enables transparency and prevents technical debt
• A Sprint produces at least one usable Increment that meets DoD
