You can also use scrum to improve your business operations and workflow.


Scrum Certification
There are a number of globally-recognized scrum certification organizations out there that have trainers who offer training for interested persons. Out of all of them, 2 are the most commonly recognized: scrumalliance.org and scrum.org. Their certifications are two of the most demanded by employers and recruiters.
ScrumAlliance
For scrumalliance.org, you are required to sign up for a 16-hour training with a trainer on their portal after which, you get to write the certification exam for free to become a Certified Scrum Master (CSM). This cost averages $900 per training period.
This certification has to be renewed every 2 years at another cost.
You'll have access to the required scrum master test after you've completed the course. This test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions; you must correctly answer 37 of the 50 questions (get 74%) to pass the test and receive your certification. The cost of your course includes two test attempts.
Scrum.org
For scrum.org, you are not required to sign up with a trainer on their portal before you can write the certification exam at the cost of $200 per test to become a Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I). The trainers on the portal charge an average of $1300 per training period. No annual renewal fee is required for this certification.
The passing score for PSM I is 85% with 80 questions.
