Hi guys this is a quick video on how to get your CSM certification in this video
we will cover what CSM certification is what is the criteria and how to register
for the exam we will also look at the structure of the exam the questions and
the passing criteria hey welcome back so if you're wondering what CSM is it is
certified scrum master scrum masters are similar to project managers in the
traditional world but not really as commanding and authoritative because by
definition the scrum master is a servant leader so keep that in mind when you try
to attend the exam the great thing about CSM is you don't have to study or spend
hours reading books you can take a course over the weekend and then you
will be certified up to two days it's that simple so having a CSM
certification is good if you are in the market for agile project management or
if you're looking to manage scrum or Kanban projects these are agile projects
which are suitable for software development in these days agile is being
adopted by all industries irrespective of just software so if you want to get
CSM certification you can get it pretty quickly even if you're not a project
manager today or not a scrum master I would highly encourage you to still get
the certification so you can move into that space typically there is a two-day
training that you need to register to attend in person and by the end of the
second day you have online exam you don't have to go to any Prometric Center
you can be with the other people who attended the training and you
tindy all right the exam together so which is always a good thing it is
really really easy compared to any other exams I can guarantee that if you put in
the effort to go and attend the in-person training for CSM you would
definitely pass the exam that I'm 99% sure unless you really screw it up so
that is the good thing about CSM because you don't have to spend weeks or years
or month you just have to spend two days and voila you have the certificate and
personally I have not heard of anyone who failed the exam after attending the
in-person training so now let's see how to register for the exam so the first
step in the CSM certification is to familiarize yourself with this crumb
framework it's not that hard you can follow this link that I'm gonna put up
here and you can watch agile in ten minutes video it's pretty easy once you
watch that you will pretty much have the things that you need to know before
attending the in-person training so basically you register for the in-person
training and then you attend in person at that location which is select
typically you will have a two-day session eight of us each and the
training is provided by a certified scrum trainer you will get a
comprehensive view of the agile concept how to organize and support a scrum team
and after the course you will need to pass the exam which is an online exam so
it's not that hard so now let's talk about the exam structure so there are 35
questions and five of them are not scorable that is those five questions
are put in place for designing the next exams so out of the total 35 questions
only 30 will be measured and you have to score 80% to pass that means you have to
get 25 questions or 24 questions correct out of the 30 questions don't worry
about the high 80% chorong because for some reason if you
fail you still have two more attempts within the 90 calendar days after
attending the training now let's look at the exam structure the course is the
exam is broken down into four sections general roles meetings and artifacts and
most of the questions would be around the roles in agile for my tests I see
there were 21 questions out of 30 that was with respect to roles so it is
important for you to understand the rules of agile or in general scrum there
were seven questions on my exams that was under general topic four related to
meetings and three around the agile artifacts I'm saying this based on the
results that I see on the screen so I'm assuming that that's the way how exam is
structured you can see on the screen that I got 100% on general 90 percent on
the roles 75 percent on the other things so basically you don't have to score 80
percent in each section you just have to score 80 percent overall so guys just go
ahead and register for the exam and get your CSM certification that means you
have to get 25 questions or 24 questions correct out of the 30 questions don't
worry about the high eighty person scoring because for some reason if you
fail you still have two more attempts within the 90 calendar days half that
means you have to get 25 questions or 24 questions correct out of the 30
questions don't worry about the high 80 person scoring because for some reason
if you fail you still have two more attempts within the 90 calendar days
after attending the training now let's look at the exam structure the course is
the exam is broken down into four sections general roles meetings and
artifacts and most of the questions would be around the roles in agile for
my tests I see there were 21 questions out of 30
it was with respect to roles so it is important for you to understand the
roles of agile or in general scrum there were seven questions on my exams that
was under general topic for related to meetings and three around the agile
artifacts I am saying this based on the results that I see on this
