The cert your team is on now, plus the levels above and below. Use this to map an engineer's next-step credential or to plan headcount coverage across tiers.

Customer outcome

Build PSM capability across the whole team, not one engineer

Assign the Professional Scrum Master II course to the engineers who need it, and the team report shows who has started, who has finished — the view leadership uses to see Scrum.org skills coverage across the team and where the gaps are.

Team capability

Make PSM a number on your team capability sheet, not a single engineer’s certificate.

Standardizing your team on PSM gives leadership a clear picture of Scrum.org skills coverage — who has completed the training, who is still on the path, and where the gaps are — so staffing and escalation plans rest on known capability instead of on one engineer.

Frequently asked questions about Professional Scrum Master II training

Common questions IT directors ask when evaluating Professional Scrum Master II training for their team.

How does Professional Scrum Master II fit into our internal compliance and governance program?

Teams often cite Professional Scrum Master II when documenting who is trained to coach delivery teams and run Scrum at an advanced level. CBT Nuggets team reporting supports that record with per-learner progress, completion and completion exports for audit evidence. The auditor's control crosswalk decides how the credential maps to any formal framework.

Who on the team should hold Professional Scrum Master II, and what can a certified team own?

IT leaders typically put it on the roadmap for experienced Scrum Masters, agile coaches and delivery leads who already guide one or more teams. The linked course prepares them to coach individuals and teams, facilitate difficult conversations, lead without formal authority, and work through conflict and resistance during organizational change. A certified group can own cross-team dependencies at scale and use evidence and metrics to drive continuous improvement.

What does CBT Nuggets Professional Scrum Master II training include for a team?

CBT Nuggets Professional Scrum Master II courses are built by named expert trainers. Where a course includes hands-on virtual labs or a practice exam mapped to Scrum.org's published exam objectives, the course list on this page says so. Team admin reporting tracks assignment, completion and exam readiness per engineer — the view managers use to run a team training program.

How do I assign and track Professional Scrum Master II training for my team?

From the admin console, managers assign the Professional Scrum Master II courses directly to specific engineers or role groups and track completion and practice-exam scores per learner. Team-wide reporting rolls up to a single dashboard you can review or export for leadership reviews or compliance reporting.

How long does it take to certify a team on Professional Scrum Master II?

The linked CBT Nuggets training runs about 10 hours of video. Actual time to certify depends on the team's starting point, including how much hands-on Scrum Master experience each person brings to the advanced coaching and leadership scenarios.

What if Scrum.org updates the Professional Scrum Master II exam objectives?

CBT Nuggets updates Scrum.org course content as exam objectives refresh, and this page shows the current exam's status and any retirement date the vendor has announced. When Scrum.org restructures or renames a track, the assigned training stays aligned with the same team training plan, and the training stays current without anyone losing their progress mid-stream.
