Preparation Tips for PSM II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 I did a lot of research while preparing for PSM-II but to my disappointment, there wasn\u2019t much guidance available on how to prepare apart from the reading suggestions mentioned in Scrum.org which directs you towards Scrum guide and Nexus guide. So, I decided to pen down my journey for PSM-II preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Recommendations for PSM-II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.     First and foremost, have a read at Overview of PSM-II<\/a> provided by Scrum.org. It will provide you with an insight on what to expect from the certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     It is most important to get your basics right, so I would highly suggest starting with Scrum Guide<\/a> and the Nexus Guide<\/a> thoroughly. Don\u2019t just know the concepts but try to understand them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     Next step would be to validate your understanding of these guides by going through Scrum and Nexus Open Assessments<\/a>. Make sure you practice them until you get 100% in back to back exams a couple of times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.     Understanding the importance of Scrum Values is a key. There\u2019s value in the Scrum Values<\/a> is a great article that explains the scrum values in a way that makes them relatable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.     To get a deep dive into role of a Scrum Master and the myths corresponding it, I would highly recommend having a go at The 8 Stances of a Scrum Master<\/a> and Scrum Master anti-patterns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.     Questions related to Coaching & Facilitation form a big part of the assessment and therefore, I would recommend having a read at Scrum Master: The Master of the Art of Facilitation<\/a>, The Scrum Master as a Facilitator<\/a> , The Scrum Master as a coach<\/a> and Scrum Master is the Master of Coaching<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.     I had to google a lot to find some practice test and here is my list of limited free test repository<\/span><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
