EXIN Agile Scrum Master is a certification that looks to confirm both skills and knowledge of the Agile principles and Scrum framework. Agile Scrum is about working together to successfully reach a goal. Agile methodologies are popular approaches in software development and are increasingly being used in other areas. Scrum practices include establishing cross-functional and self-managing teams, producing a working deliverable at the end of each iteration or Sprint. This certification focuses on adopting Agile or Scrum in the workplace and taking on the role of Scrum Master. The Scrum Master is responsible for ensuring that the Scrum framework is understood by the team. Scrum Masters do this by coaching, training, and facilitating the Scrum team. 

The Scrum Master helps the team to produce value. A successful Scrum Master can work well with others, both inside and outside the team. The Scrum Master helps those outside the Scrum team understand which interactions with the Scrum team are helpful and which are not. The Agile way of thinking is best known in the field of software development, but the principles are increasingly being applied in other types of projects. Scrum is the most-used Agile methodology and is suitable for all professionals looking to keep their knowledge up to date with the latest developments in the fields of IT and project management, particularly those leading or participating in projects.

This type of questions aims to demonstrate that the candidate is able to organize, compare, interpret and choose the correct description of facts and ideas. 

Bloom Level 3: Application – shows that candidates have the ability to make use of information in a context different from the one in which it was learned. This type of questions aims to demonstrate that the candidate is able to solve problems in new situations by applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different, or new way. These questions usually contain a short scenario.
