PSM I 30-Day Study Plan
April 27, 2026
A structured PSM I 30-day study plan with reading order, review loops, practice timing, and final-week priorities.
Use this page when you want a simple 1- to 2-week PSM I path instead of moving through the hub ad hoc.
Fast rule
Study in this order:
- Scrum theory and values
- accountabilities and event purpose
- artifacts and commitments
- anti-patterns and short drills
7-day fast review
| Day |
Focus |
What to do |
| 1 |
Scrum theory |
Read the Syllabus and restate empiricism in your own words. |
| 2 |
Accountabilities |
Separate Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Developers strictly. |
| 3 |
Events |
Write one line for the purpose of each event and what it is not for. |
| 4 |
Artifacts |
Focus on visibility, commitments, and what each artifact enables. |
| 5 |
Common anti-patterns |
Use the Cheat Sheet to spot non-Scrum answers quickly. |
| 6 |
Short drills |
Use Practice and turn misses into one-line rules. |
| 7 |
Final pass |
Revisit weak rules, then do one more short drill set. |
Best way to review misses
- If you mixed up a role, rewrite the authority boundary.
- If you mixed up an event, rewrite its inspection or adaptation purpose.
- If you chose a plausible but non-Scrum answer, name the exact rule it violated.
When to move into practice
Move into heavier practice once you can explain:
- the exact Scrum Guide definition and purpose of each accountability, event, artifact, and commitment
- why PSM I rewards precision instead of almost-right wording
- why the strongest answer usually preserves empiricism, self-management, and a Done Increment
