Description

Certified Scrum Professionals challenge their teams to improve the way Scrum and Agile principles are applied. They have demonstrated experience, documented training, and proven knowledge in Scrum. The CSP® certification is unique to developers and distinct from a Certified Scrum Professional®-ScrumMaster (CSP®-SM) or Certified Scrum Professional®-Product Owner (CSP®-PO).

Aside from the pride gained and earning potential of attaining CSP level, you can also:
  • Attend exclusive CSP events with other leaders in Scrum and Agile
  • Attract more recruiters and command a higher rate of pay
  • Establish a gateway and milestone toward becoming a CST®, CEC, or CTC
  • Receive a free Premium subscription to the world's largest Agile assessment and continuous improvement platform, Comparative Agility®

Requirements

  • Be a current holder of only an active CSD certification
  • Have a minimum of 36 months of successful Agile/Scrum work experience gained within the past five years, implementing Scrum inside organizations as Development Team member, Product Owner, Scrum Master, or "Other." (Provide details for "Other" in the "How did you use Scrum on this job?" field at the bottom of the Work Experience section of your profile page. Please align your experience to the basic Scrum roles as much as possible.)
  • Gather and submit 70 Scrum Education Units (SEUs) from the past three years. Note that SEUs earned from your CSD certification (up to 24 SEUs) put you well on your way. Your CSD training can be more than three years old, but your certification must be active. Learn more about maintaining your certification here. All other SEUs need to have been earned within the past three years. See our Earn SEUs for your CSP page for more details.
Maintain your CSP by earning Scrum Education Units® (SEUs) and renewing your certification every two years. Learn more
