Scrum Scrum Master II

About this Exam

The Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) from Scrum.org validates advanced Scrum Master skills beyond framework knowledge. While the PSM I tests understanding of Scrum, the PSM II tests your ability to apply Scrum in complex, real-world situations. The exam focuses on how a Scrum Master serves the Scrum Team, the Product Owner, and the organization. You will face scenario-based questions about coaching teams through conflict, helping organizations adopt Scrum at scale, removing impediments that require organizational change, and facilitating collaboration between multiple Scrum Teams. The PSM II tests your understanding of Scrum Master stances (teacher, coach, mentor, facilitator, manager), how to develop self-managing teams, and how to measure and improve team effectiveness. Questions often present situations with no clear right answer, requiring you to choose the response that best aligns with Scrum values and empiricism. The PSM II is significantly harder than the PSM I, with a lower pass rate, making it a highly respected credential among agile practitioners.
