PSPBM Skills practice test and exam questions
The Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills (PSPBM Skills, often searched as PSPBM) certification from Scrum.org checks that you can keep a Product Backlog useful: ordered, refined, tied to the Product Goal and transparent to stakeholders. It is a short exam, 20 questions in 30 minutes, so there is little room for error. Our PSPBM practice tests drill each skill.

What the PSPBM exam tests
- Product Backlog management: ordering, refinement and keeping the backlog transparent.
- Product value: the Product Goal and deciding what is worth building.
- Stakeholders and customers: capturing needs and saying no.
- Scrum framework: how the backlog connects to the events, artifacts and accountabilities.
Sample PSPBM exam question
The Product Backlog has grown to 600 items and stakeholders cannot tell what matters. What should the Product Owner do first?
- Ask the Developers to estimate all 600 items.
- Remove items that no longer support the Product Goal and order the rest so the next few Sprints are clear.
- Create one backlog per stakeholder group.
- Stop accepting new items until the backlog is smaller.
Answer: 2. A Product Backlog is only useful if it is transparent and ordered toward the Product Goal. Trimming and ordering it does more than estimating hundreds of items that may never be built. Every question in our bank explains its answer like this.
