About this course
A preparation course for the Professional Product Discovery and Validation (PPDV) certification from Scrum.org, with a timed practice exam of 40 questions in 40 minutes and an 80% pass mark, plus the Scrum Guide to study alongside it.
You earn PPDV by passing Scrum.org's online assessment: 20 multiple-choice questions in 30 minutes, with an 85% pass mark. Scrum.org strongly recommends its PPDV course, but it is not required. Use this course to practise the knowledge the assessment tests.
The exam covers vision, strategy and problem framing, assumptions and hypotheses, understanding users and their needs, experiment design and evidence, value and outcome measures, and how discovery and validation fit into Scrum. That is 40 original questions, none 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 hypotheses, prototypes, user interviews and outcome metrics.
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.
