The PSM certification is widely accepted and recognised as your skills and mastery over the values enshrined in the Scrum framework and methodology. The main pillars of Scrum and Agile values are communication, collaboration, and contribution from concept to deployment stages of all team members. This is the ideal Scrum framework where self-organised stakeholders use the Scrum Agile practices to solve, test and correct their issues and achieve goals in team accepted deadlines.

The three PSM I, II and III level certifications are earned by scoring a minimum passing score in an online test. The level-I holders prove they have understood the basics, terminology, approaches and values enshrined in Scrum. Level-II holders are required to demonstrate the application of techniques imbibed to organisations and teams, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the Agile processes and principles that underlie the Scrum framework. At the Level-III the holders are called upon to demonstrate a deep understanding and implementation of these to practical situations and call for Scrum Agile mastery.

The Scrum Master needs to have an excellent grasp and practical command over team performance, dynamics and face-to-face communications. As most of the Scrum skills are practical in nature and dependent on learning from working in teams, it is essential the Scrum Master undergoes practical training in Agile Scrum practices before certification.
