I DID IT!!!! What's Next?
Hi All,
I would like to thank you all in this forum. I failed the first time with a 73%. I studied for like a week and thought I was ready, but the test quickly proved for me, "That was a lie." :) So I took a few more weeks and really dug into the material. I read all the forum topics and advice and it proved to be a huge help. So thank you to all who provided their expertise here. My next question, what would be the next steps? Should I hold off on preparing for PSMII or dig in while the information is fresh in my mind? Is there a real plan to prepare for the test? Reading materials, Practice test, or should I get more hands on practice before moving forward?
Thank you,
Ebony Ramey
Congrats! I'm assuming you're talking about the PSM1? I would suggest getting more hands on practice, as well as earning your PSPO1 before going with the PSM2.
Awesome. Thank you for your reply. I will look into the PSP01. I would like to keep going while Im into it and learn as much as I can.
Congrats Ebony ... I would suggest you do PSPO I first then pursue PSM II ... Cheers
Any study for Scrum.org certification is useful preparation for PSM II, and validating that with an exam can really help.
But it's important to be aware that there's a significant difference in difficulty between PSM I / PSPO I, which are both considered Intermediate, and PSM II, which is considered Advanced.
Congratulations Ebony.
If you have time & budget, I recommend that you attend in-person training classes. There are two main advantages I feel; one is that you are exposed to best practices followed and issues faced by other organizations. The other benefit is you get two shots at the exam.
To add to what @KT wrote, the classes are all experiential so you learn while doing and from the experience of the Professional Scrum Trainer. The classes are heavy on activities and doing.
