CSM vs CSPO Exam Prep: What to Expect and How to Study

CSM® and CSPO® are two widely pursued Scrum certifications, but they are designed for different roles and evaluate different ways of thinking. While both are grounded in the Scrum framework, the exams test distinct responsibilities, decision-making priorities, and role expectations.

This exam-focused webinar explains how the CSM® and CSPO® exams differ in structure, focus areas, and preparation requirements, and how those differences reflect real-world Scrum roles. You will learn what each exam tests beyond Scrum theory, how preparation strategies vary, and how to choose the certification that aligns with your career direction.

The session also includes a preview of Certified ScrumMaster (CSM®) Certification Training and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO®) Certification Training, showing how structured, instructor-led preparation supports exam readiness and role clarity.
