PSM Scrum.org Certifications: Study Roadmap
Follow this path to organize your exam preparation
Phase 1: Deepen Scrum Guide MasteryYou are here
Re-read the Scrum Guide 2020 with an advanced lens — focus on why each element exists, not just what it is. Study the Professional Scrum Competencies on Scrum.org.
Phase 2: Leadership Styles, Coaching & Facilitation
Study Barry Overeem's eight Scrum Master stances (servant leader, coach, facilitator, teacher, mentor, manager, impediment remover, change agent) and the eight misunderstood stances, then practice choosing between teaching, mentoring, coaching, and facilitating in team scenarios.
Phase 3: Product Backlog, Stakeholders & Evidence-Based Management
Practice Product Backlog management and stakeholder collaboration from the Product Owner's perspective, and learn the EBM Guide's four Key Value Areas (Current Value, Unrealized Value, Time-to-Market, Ability to Innovate) as supporting context for value and metrics scenarios.
Phase 4: Technical Risk, Organizational Design & Culture
Study how Scrum Teams make technical risk transparent and reduce it within the Sprint cadence, then cover organizational design and culture: moving beyond Taylorism-era structures, removing systemic impediments, and balancing agility with existing structures.
Phase 5: Advanced Scenario Practice
Work through complex real-world Scrum scenarios. Focus on nuanced situations involving leadership conflicts, organizational resistance, and multi-team dependencies.
