The exam assesses Technical Agility, Engineering Best Practices, Scrum Framework Implementation, Quality Management.

Work experience is not required to sit the exam, though the published requirements include experience conditions. What it does affect is your likelihood of passing on the first attempt, because the exam assumes you have worked with the material rather than just read about it. Our assessment puts the cognitive load of this exam at High. The exam requires more than just memorizing the Scrum Guide; it demands the application of engineering principles to specific agile scenarios..

The exam itself has no gate on your CV. The distinction is between being *allowed* to sit it and being *ready* to pass it, and the second one is about what you have actually done with the domains. For this certification our focus is: Technical application of Scrum principles and engineering excellence.

Focus heavily on combining the Scrum Guide with Agile Engineering practices (XP). Practice scenarios involving technical debt, CI/CD pipelines, and the relationship between the Definition of Done and automated testing.
