Core audience

• Aspiring or current Scrum Masters — the most obvious fit, whether you're new to the role or want formal certification for existing experience
• Project managers transitioning to Agile/Scrum environments
• Team leads who facilitate or coordinate Agile teams

Also valuable for

• Product owners — understanding Scrum Master responsibilities helps the PO-SM relationship work better
• Development team members (engineers, designers, QA) who want to understand the framework they're working in, not just execute within it
• Managers/executives overseeing Agile transformations, so they understand what support Scrum teams actually need
• Business analysts working closely with Agile teams
• Anyone involved in Agile transformation initiatives at an organizational level

Less obviously, but still useful for

• HR or PMO staff designing career paths or process standards around Agile teams
• Consultants advising clients on Agile adoption
