Hi Rainer,

Thanks for the essential tips about clearing the PSM I Assessment on one's own preparation. This article, along with Derek's link below helped me immensely in my preparation and I successfully passed the test today with 96%.

Again, thanks a bunch!

Cheers
Vijay

Hi Rainer

This is a great article and thanks for sharing. Like you, I took the PSM I assessment after self-study. I also wrote a blog about it which I hope other readers might find helpful:

I also believe that Scrum.org are getting it right with regard to assessments. They're not requiring that you attend a course first and whether you attend a course not, you're required to pass the assessment to get the certificate. That makes the certificate worth something.

Recently, I also wrote an article comparing CSM with PSM. Interestingly, the Scrum Alliance are now conducting assessments as well. More info here:

I hope it might prove useful reading.

Hi Rainer,

I guess the Use case, Sequence and Class diagram stencils are available for now. Can you please tell me when can the stencil for activity diagram be added?

Sorry, I miissed your comment. If still relevant to you: If you have a look at the Scrum page of this blog you'll find some recommendations for books (Mike Cohn, Roman Pichler). There are also slides and videos you can have a look at.

Re: OpenPM – Warum gerade jetzt?

Danke, Rainer, für Deine aktive Unterstützung. Hier und auf Google+ und wo auch immer wir gerade diskutieren. Eine kleine Ergänzung. Prinzipiell sind wir uns beim Namen #openpm einig, aber aufgrund eventuell drohender namensrechtlicher Komplikationen haben wir das Brainstroming zum alternativen Namen angestoßen. Mittlerweile ist das Brainstorming abgeschlossen und es findet eine Stichwahl der Top-5 statt. Hier kann aber noch jeder abstimmen: http://tricider.com/brainst...

Thanks for the explanation. Got my Flex to install inside Eclipse on Ubuntu. One thing not working is that Flex claims the trial expired already. Too bad I couldn't try it :-(

I got hints on the most questions that I didn't solve the first time. Did you get these, too? You may re-read the Scrum Guide to find the right answer. It may also helps to search for special blog posts (maybe Ken also wrote about those topics).

Hi,
I did take the exam once and Could get only 80%. Do you have pointers to some of the questions in this test? I am trying to get the incorrect questions correct in the second attempt and any help would be of highly appreciated.

Re: How to Make the ICEfaces Connection Status Always Visible

William Altuzarra Noriega — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 15:27:01 -0000

Hi Rainer!

Thanks for your answer Rainer!, very instructive!, yesterday I was talking with my friend Genner Narvaez and he told me he had also implemented a similar solution for the connectionstatus; he´s solution involves to put this in the style of a ice:panelGroup:

style="position: fixed;"

And that makes the panelgroup also to follow the web page scroll.

Thanks again for your time and explanation !

Hi William,

you may download ICEfusion and have a look at a working implementation. Please, check out the latest trunk. Here's a direct link to the Connection Status code:

Here's how your page header should look like:

Hi Rainer!, how are you !

Rain, I am very interested in the solution you are posting. though, while performing this example with icefaces 1.8.1, I dont know why I cant make it to work.
Could you please share the code in a zip file? or maybe can I find this exact example with icefaces and a floating element available with the source code in another blog or site?

Thanks for the attention!

I added some interviews with Mike Cohn and Ken Schwaber. Interesting: Ken announces a Professional Product Owner certification for 2011. So, it will become easier to select between the ScrumAlliance and Scrum.org certification path.
