Professional Scrum Master - AI Essentials PDF

AI will not replace Scrum Masters, because facilitation, coaching and accountability for Scrum stay human work, but the role now includes helping a team use AI well. The Scrum.org PSM-AI Essentials assessment tests exactly that: 40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, an 85% pass mark and a fee of $200 per attempt. This guide covers what is tested, whether to take the course, and a two-week plan.

Will AI replace Scrum Masters, and what does PSM-AI Essentials prove?

The fear behind the question is understandable. Generative AI can draft a retrospective agenda, summarise a long thread of comments, cluster feedback and suggest sprint goals in seconds. If those were the whole job, the job would be at risk. They are not the whole job. The Scrum Guide gives the Scrum Master accountability for the Scrum Team's effectiveness and for Scrum being understood and enacted, and neither of those can be handed to a tool. A tool cannot notice that two developers have stopped talking to each other, cannot earn a Product Owner's trust and cannot decide that a team needs a hard conversation rather than a better template.
