About this course
A preparation course for the Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills (PSF Skills) certification from Scrum.org, with a timed practice exam of 40 questions in 40 minutes and an 80% pass mark, plus the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.
PSF Skills is earned by passing Scrum.org's online assessment: 20 multiple-choice questions in 30 minutes, with a passing score of 85%. No class is required, but a solid understanding of Scrum is expected. Use this course to practise the judgement the assessment calls for.
The exam covers facilitation principles and values, the facilitator stance, facilitating the Scrum events, participatory decision-making, diverse perspectives and team dynamics, and common facilitation techniques. That is 40 original questions, mostly realistic scenarios, none taken from the free test.
Each answer has an explanation that says why it is right and why the tempting alternative is wrong, grounded in the Scrum Guide 2020 and in common facilitation practices such as working agreements, decision rules, check-ins and small-group structures.
You can retake the exam as often as you like, and your results are saved in your account. Questions are in English; explanations are also available in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
