Get Scrum Certified Fast

Scrum isn't hard to learn.

Becoming a certified Professional Scrum Master? That's a lot harder.

Scrum certification is one of the industry's hardest accreditations to achieve, but you can do it if you have Darcy DeClute's Scrum Master Certification Guide by your side.

This Scrum Master Certification Guide covers all of the objectives of both the Agile Alliance's CSM designation and the much harder, and more respected, Professional Scrum Master (PSM1) designation from Scrum.org.

Pass on your first try

Several PSM1 exam takers have earned 100% scores after reading the Scrum Master Certification Guide, demonstrating this book's effectiveness as a learning resource.

Readers have also passed the Professional Scrum Product Owner exam (PSPO), the Professional Scrum with User Experience exam (PSU) and the Professional Scrum Developer (PSD) exam with the help of this book, as these certifications all share overlapping criteria.

Darcy DeClute's Scrum Master Certification Guide also lays a strong foundation for passing the PSMII and PSMIII exams as well.

A Scrum Guide that Stands Out
