About this course
A preparation course for the Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills (PSPBM 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.
You earn PSPBM Skills by passing Scrum.org's online assessment: 20 multiple-choice questions in 30 minutes, with an 85% pass mark. Scrum.org recommends its PSPBM Skills course, but it is not required. Use this course to practise the knowledge the assessment tests.
The exam covers Product Backlog fundamentals, refinement, decomposing and slicing items, ordering and value, stakeholders and their needs, and the link between the Product Goal, transparency and empiricism. That is 40 original questions, 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 complementary practices such as vertical slicing, user stories and acceptance criteria.
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.
