Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) Journey
From the The Big Time Blog
by Rami Kaibni
Managing any project successfully is all about Team Work combined with years of Accrued Expertise. It is an asset to have an educational background that compliments your field of expertise but "education" without "experience" is like an "arrow" without a "bow." You can never make a perfect shot with a temporary arrow unless you have a permanent bow called: "Life's Experience." Remember, you can never teach experience but you can always teach from experience.

I am glad to announce that I passed my Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) Certification with a score of 95%.
Although my field of expertise is in Construction & Real Estate Development but I’ve always had interest in Scrum and Agile. The PSM I is just the first step but it is indeed a very big step into this domain and it is important for any professional to expand their field of expertise.
That being said, I would like to share my journey towards achieving the PSM I Certification:
Preparation
1- Read the Scrum Guide and understood everything in details. It is a 16 page guide but very conclusive in terms of the scrum basics.
2- Read some additional documents and articles like the Nexus Guide.
3- Completed some simulation exams such as Open Scrum which is available for free.
4- Total study time was 1 week (Average of 3 Hours per Day)
Exam
1- The exam is 1 Hour and consists of 80 Multiple Choice Questions.
2- It tests your experience & knowledge beyond the Scrum Guide.
3- Majority of the questions were of moderate difficulty. A lot of questions were situational questions, others were straight forward.

Congrats Rami, on your new achievement. All the very best.
Great news Rami, and welcome to the club. By the way, I think Scrum can find it's way to Construction and Real Estate, maybe not in the product delivery side, but certainly the admin, HR and sales side. Things like the daily standup, retrospectives, or small cross-functional teams (they don't need to be development teams).

@Anish:Thanks a lot.
@Sante: Thanks a lot for your support. I agree with you but if you do not use all aspects of scrum then the outcome is not scrum right ?
Congratulation Rami for your achievement, any knowledge would definitely be an asset down the road.
