About this course
A preparation course for the Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster (CSP-SM) certification from Scrum Alliance, with a timed practice exam of 40 questions in 40 minutes and an 80% pass mark, plus the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.
CSP-SM has no official exam: you earn it by completing a CSP-SM course with a Scrum Alliance educator, including any work the educator assigns. You must already hold an A-CSM and have 24 months of Scrum Master experience in the past five years. Use this course to prepare before it, to consolidate what you learned after it, and to get ready for senior Scrum Master interviews.
The exam covers the CSP-SM learning areas: Lean, Agile and Scrum; facilitation, coaching and teaching; serving the Scrum Team; serving the Product Owner; scaling and organisational change; and Scrum mastery. Its 40 original questions are mostly scenarios that call for judgement, and none are taken from the free test.
Each answer has an explanation that says why it is right and why the tempting alternative is wrong, grounded in the Scrum Guide 2020 and in common complementary practices such as limiting work in progress, value stream mapping and communities of practice.
You can retake the exam as often as you like, and your results are saved in your account. Questions are in English; explanations are also available in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German and Italian.
