Why Get a ScrumStudy Certification?
Are you ready to be a Scrum Master?
Are you thinking about becoming a certified Scrum Master?
In terms of the scrum team, a scrum master acts as the coach and the team’s culture cheerleader. They help their team stay organized and work together more effectively. Scrum masters also ensure the team is communicating with each other and actionable improvements are being made along the way to help the team perform at their best, together. The scrum master is a crucial role within the scrum team.
Does this sound like a role you’d thrive in? Many organizations the world over are turning to scrum as the main project management framework for their projects and need certified scrum masters to chart the course and guide teams.
What types of scrum master and agile certifications are out there?
The two main scrum master certifications out there are The Certified Scrum Master certification (CSM) and the Scrum Master Certified (SMC).
While there are certainly benefits to both certifications, I’d love to focus on SMC as that is what I am trained to certify folks in. The SMC is a certification through SCRUMstudy, a global accreditation body for Scrum and Agile certifications.
What makes SCRUMstudy different than other accreditation bodies?

4. Standard Testing Environment – Speaking of the test, SCRUMstudy utilizes a live online proctoring system. This means, unlike other accreditation bodies, you can take the test from the comfort of your own home.
5. In Good Company – SCRUMstudy has certified more than 325,000 people and 7,500 new students enroll every month. That’s more than any other certification body.
