The Professional Scrum Competencies

Scrum.org has created these Professional Scrum Competencies to help guide an

individual’s personal development with Scrum. Building proficiency with Scrum starts
with the fundamentals, Understanding and Applying the Scrum Framework, and it is the
foundation for personal growth. The competencies and underlying focus areas apply to
the Scrum Team (Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Developers) and to other roles in
the organization such as Agile Leaders.

Organizations can benefit from the use of a common understanding of the competencies
and focus areas that they use to evaluate and balance their team’s proficiencies based
on their unique needs. View how Scrum.org Professional Scrum Training Courses cover
