Scrum.org now offers two certifications on AI in Scrum: Professional Scrum Master - AI Essentials (PSM-AI) and Professional Scrum Product Owner - AI Essentials (PSPO-AI). From today, Scrum Live Assistant has a complete learning path for each, next to the ones for PSM I and PSPO I.
What is new
- PSM-AI Essentials learning path: four lessons, one for each focus area Scrum.org names: AI Theory and Primer, Effective AI Prompting, AI Security and Ethics, and AI for Scrum Masters.
- PSPO-AI Essentials learning path: three lessons for AI Theory and Primer, AI Security and Ethics, and AI Product Ownership.
- Two full practice exams per certification, each with 40 questions and a 60-minute timer, like the real assessment.
- A certification guide for each exam: PSM-AI Essentials and PSPO-AI Essentials.
How a lesson works
Every lesson follows the same pattern as our PSM I path, so you can learn the way that suits your day:
- Watch: hand-picked videos, several of them recommended by Scrum.org for that focus area.
- Listen: a narrated version of the lesson, split into short chapters, for the commute or a walk.
- Read: the full text of the lesson with key takeaways.
- Check: a short quiz with an explanation for every answer.
After the lessons come Scrum.org's free open assessment for the role, our practice exams and a page of exam tips. You can tick off each step, and the path remembers where you are.
Practice exams in the real format
Both AI Essentials assessments have 40 questions in 60 minutes, and you need 85% to pass. Our practice exams use the same format and the same question types: multiple choice, multiple answer and true or false. In learning mode you see the explanation after every question; in exam mode you get the result at the end, like on exam day.
With a free account you can try 15 questions from the first practice exam. The full learning paths and all practice exams are part of Premium.
Which one should you take?
Both certifications share AI theory and AI security and ethics. PSM-AI then focuses on prompting and on how a Scrum Master guides a team that uses AI. PSPO-AI focuses on product ownership: discovery, the Product Backlog, products with AI features and how to measure their value. We compare the two in detail in PSM-AI vs PSPO-AI Essentials.
