Scaled Professional Scrum™ Certification

 
SPS Certification Badge

Prove Your Knowledge of Scaling Scrum and the Nexus Framework

The Scaled Professional Scrum™ (SPS) certification validates your knowledge of using the Nexus Framework as described in the Nexus Guide. SPS tests your knowledge needed to enable multiple Scrum Teams to work from a single Product Backlog to build an Integrated Increment that meets a goal.

While attendance is not a prerequisite, attending a Scaled Professional Scrum class is highly recommended. 

SPS includes questions from the following Focus Areas:

Translation

Many people successfully use the Google Translate Plugin to take the test in their native language. If you plan to use the Google Translate Plugin you MUST follow these instructions for using the Google Translate Plugin. We cannot guarantee the quality of the translation, however feedback has been quite good.

Accommodations for Physical or Intellectual Disabilities

We take these considerations very seriously, and examine each case individually. Please contact support@scrum.org regarding your circumstances and we can advise you on next steps.

Why Scrum.org

Unlike other Scrum certifications that are awarded for attendance in a class, earning a Scrum.org certification requires proof of knowledge and understanding by passing the certification test. You can take the Professional Scrum certification test whether you have attended a Scrum.org class or not, though each Scrum.org training class is a great learning experience and includes a free attempt at the associated certification.

Protecting the integrity of the certification process is very important to us. By taking a test with Scrum.org you agree to abide by our Standard of Conduct. You will not receive information about the specific questions that were answered correctly or incorrectly, however  you will receive a breakdown of your performance based on the Professional Scrum Competencies.
