Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills™ Certification
Prove your knowledge of Product Backlog Management Skills
The Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management Skills certification validates your knowledge of skills and techniques and how they are applied. Earning the PSPBM Skills certification shows that you have demonstrated an understanding on how to effectively manage a Product Backlog which is both transparent and focused on value.
This includes techniques for capturing customer needs, refining the Product Backlog, managing stakeholder expectations, and using empiricism for a competitive advantage.
*At this time, only Students attending the PSPBM Skills training course have the ability to take the PSPBM Skills certification test. Scrum.org will evaluate whether or not to make the certification available in the future to those who have not taken the course.
PSPBM Skills includes questions from the following Focus Areas as defined in the Professional Scrum Competencies. While attendance is not a prerequisite, attending a Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) or Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I) course is strongly recommended as earning the certificate requires a fundamental understanding of Scrum. The focus areas that this test draws from are those that concern Product Backlog management.

- Managing Products with Agility:
- Product Backlog Management
