The Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO I) practice assessment is available to anyone who would like some help preparing for the official Scrum.org PSPO I assessment.
This practice assessment has been created by the Red Tangerine Team and it is not endorsed by Scrum.org.
As well as taking the practice assessment, we recommend doing the following to prepare for the Scrum.org PSPO I assessment:
This practice assessment consists of 20 questions to be answered in 20 minutes, with a pass mark of 85%.
The Daily Scrum is an event for the Developers of the Scrum Team. The Developers self-manage, inspecting progress towards the Sprint Goal and producing an actionable plan for the next day of work.
The entire organisation should respect the decisions of the Product Owner which are made transparent by the contents and ordering of the Product Backlog. Stakeholders should consult and convince the Product Owner if they want the Product Backlog to be changed. No changes should be made during a Sprint that endangers the Sprint Goal.
During the Sprint, Product Backlog items are turned into Increment(s) – the artifact that meets the Definition of “Done”. The potential value of an Increment needs to be validated with customers before we know if we’ve achieved an outcome.

The Scrum Guide states, “The Product Owner is also accountable for effective Product Backlog management… The Product Owner may do the above work or may delegate the responsibility to others. Regardless, the Product Owner remains accountable.” Note that responsibility can be delegated, however, an accountability cannot be delegated.
Once the Scrum Team determines that a Product Backlog item can be completed within one Sprint, it is deemed to be ready for selection. There is no “definition of ready” artifact or element in Scrum.
There is no one best way to order the Product Backlog and different techniques will be more suitable to some contexts than others. The Product Owner has the accountability to maximise value, so they have the final say on the Product Backlog, regardless of any technique employed.
The Product Owner is part of the Scrum Team and as such shares in the Scrum Team’s successes, shortcomings and improvement actions. If the Developers are uncomfortable with the Product Owner being in the Sprint Retrospective, this should be considered as an impediment to be resolved.

The Product Owner is one person, not a committee. There should be just one Product Backlog for a product, and one Product Owner accountable for it.

The Daily Scrum is the Scrum event for the Developers to focus on progress towards the Sprint Goal and produce an actionable plan for the next day of work.
Meeting customer’s and user’s needs, their desired outcomes and solving their problems in a way that results in an overall positive impact for the organisation is a far better measure of success.
Value may mean different things in different contexts. However, the only true way to know if something is valuable is to test its value proposition.
