Is this course right for you?

Our take
A short, affordable primer on Scrum and the Scrum Master role, useful before an official exam. Be clear on one thing: its completion certificate is not an official Scrum Master certification.

Good for: beginners who want a quick, affordable introduction to Scrum before an official exam.

Skip if: you expected this to be the official CSM or PSM certification.

Paul Ashun keeps it close to the official Scrum Guide rather than generic Agile commentary — the accountabilities, events, artifacts and Definition of Done — with a coaching and exam-prep track on commonly misunderstood points and how to sit the PSM I or CSM exam affordably. At under three hours it is concise.

The recognised credentials are PSM (Scrum.org) and CSM (Scrum Alliance), which are separate paid exams — this prepares you but does not award them. It is a primer, not a deep Agile-leadership programme, so look elsewhere if you want that. On price, wait for a Udemy sale.

About this course

This course adheres closely to the official Scrum Guide rather than generic Agile commentary: Scrum theory and values, the three accountabilities (Product Owner, Developers, Scrum Master), the five Scrum events, Scrum artifacts and the Definition of Done, and a dedicated 'Coaching & Exam Prep' track addressing frequently misunderstood points — closing with concrete guidance on how to sit the PSM I or CSM exam online affordably, without classroom training costs.

Frequently asked questions

No. The Udemy completion certificate is not official. The recognised credentials are PSM (Scrum.org) and CSM (Scrum Alliance), earned through their own exams.

PSM I (Scrum.org) is a $200 exam with no mandatory course, a harder pass mark and lifetime validity. CSM (Scrum Alliance) bundles a two-day course and exam, usually $800 to $1,500, and renews every two years.

Yes as affordable preparation and an introduction to Scrum, especially if you plan to self-study for the PSM I exam.

A paid Udemy course, usually on sale for around $12 to $20. The official PSM or CSM exams are separate and cost far more.

PSM I is the budget, self-study route (about $200); CSM includes required training and costs more. Choose by budget and whether you want a taught course.
