Scrum is an adaptable and collaborative framework for effectively executing and delivering complex projects/projects/products with an iterative and incremental approach. While initially designed for software development, Scrum has found applications across different industries and project types. Its core principles revolve around iterative and incremental development, fostering collaboration, and ensuring high-quality outcomes. By promoting transparency, regular inspection, and the ability to adapt, Scrum enables teams to swiftly respond to changes, deliver value early on, and continuously enhance both the product and the development process.

How to keep your CSM certification active?
The validity of CSM certification is 2 years from the date of the training. You will have to renew your CSM certification every two years. This is to keep your certification active and your learning is continuous. To maintain your certification, you need to earn Scrum Education Units (SEUs) and pay 100 USD to renew your CSM certification every two years. Alternatively, consider exploring advanced certifications like the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster certification (A-CSM) or Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) to renew your CSM free of cost. Remember that certification is not just about obtaining a piece of paper; it is crucial to apply Scrum principles in real-world scenarios, continuously learn, and actively contribute to the agile community to excel as a Scrum Master.
