Do You Qualify for the Agile Scrum Master Exam?
Skills, Recognition and Career Growth
The Agile Scrum Master (ASM) exam validates your ability to lead Scrum teams and facilitate agile delivery as a servant-leader who removes impediments and protects the team from outside interference. The certification focuses on the agile way of thinking, the Scrum framework (roles, events, artefacts), Sprint planning and estimation, the Scrum Master role and ceremonies, adopting agile and Scrum at scale, and complementary practices such as test-driven development, pair programming, and continuous integration. It is designed for professionals who want to demonstrate their capability to coach Scrum teams toward self-organisation, deliver value iteratively, and drive continuous improvement in real-world delivery environments.

Demand runs from Scrum Master to agile coach and delivery manager, and here is what the market is telling us right now.
