    Exam

    What happens if I do not pass the CSM exam the first time?

    Yes. The program includes practice questions mapped to the 50-question, open-book CSM exam format, along with exercises and case studies that help you identify weak areas and build exam readiness.

    Is the courseware aligned with the latest Scrum Guide?

    Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current Scrum Guide (November 2020) and the Scrum Alliance CSM Learning Objectives, so you learn the framework exactly as it is defined today.
