Scrum.org Certification Guides

This section brings together PMExams support pages for Scrum.org certifications. It currently covers PSM I, PSM II, PSPO I, PSM-AI Essentials, and PSPO-AI Essentials.

Use PSM I when you need strict Scrum fundamentals. Use PSM II when you need Scrum Master judgment in messy coaching, facilitation, and organizational-change situations. Use PSPO I when your target is product value, Product Backlog decisions, stakeholder collaboration, and Product Owner accountability. Use PSM-AI Essentials when you need the Scrum Master lens on AI use, facilitation, transparency, and responsible guardrails. Use PSPO-AI Essentials when you need the Product Owner lens on value, backlog choices, experimentation, and governance around AI-enabled products.

Open the exam page that matches your current track. Each exam hub is now organized around a real start-here root plus appendix pages for syllabus, cheat sheet, FAQ, resources, and practice.
