  • PSM I -> PSM II -> PSM III (Professional Scrum Master)
  • PSPO I -> PSPO II (Professional Scrum Product Owner)
  • PSD (Professional Scrum Developer)
  • PSK I (Professional Scrum with Kanban)
  • The difference lies in role competency and exam difficulty. Though the PSPO II and PSM II are listed on two different tier levels, they reflect the same role competency and exam difficulty. The PSK I itself denotes that it is the level 1 certification and the level 2 doesn’t exist for it, but the role competency and exam difficulty makes it different from the PSM and PSPO.
  • The difference in subject areas. The PSPO and PSM are grounded within a few similar subject areas like Scrum framework, Scrum theory and principles, and Cross-functional self-organizing terms.
  • While the PSK is grounded in just similar subject areas of the PSM and PSPO that is the Scrum Framework and the rest of the subject areas include Agile metrics and others, they are completely different from the subject areas of the PSM and PSPO.
