In 2015, Scrum.org will refine the Professional Scrum Master (PSM) assessments, PSM I and PSM II, in line with following objectives:
A Professional Scrum Development (PSD) level II assessment will be launched:
A new credential will be created, Professional Scrum Expert (PSE).
Scrum is the most used process for software development, agile or otherwise. Organizations increasingly rely on Scrum to create value and compete. With assurance, they train their people with Scrum.org Professional Series courses, and they evaluate the knowledge and skills of people depending on their assessment credentials.
Scrum.org addresses the evolved needs of teams, practitioners, and managers with an updated and finer grained curriculum.
Over the past five years, software professionals have benefitted from clear, focused professional development resources offered by Scrum.org.
The courseware of Scrum.org’s Professional Series improves the ability to develop valuable software; the credentialing helps people assert their capabilities and organizations find people who have those capabilities.
We look forward to serving you better, and providing you better aids to improve your skills and get more out of Scrum.

Here is a link to this Announcement - The Scrum.org Professional Series Updates 2015. The document additionally holds an outline of the Professional Scrum credentials as envisioned through the 2015 evolutions.
- PSM I tests practice-level insights and knowledge of Scrum required for anyone entering a Scrum Team to know how to participate.
- PSM II tests the ability to apply the knowledge demonstrated through PSM I. It tests the ability to develop software effectively in a Scrum team and optimize common development issues based on the values of Scrum and the basis of empiricism and transparency.
A Professional Scrum Development (PSD) level II assessment will be launched:
- PSD II tests the ability of professional software creation as part of self-organizing, cross-functional teams, including architecting, designing and building Increments of releasable product in the large.
A new credential will be created, Professional Scrum Expert (PSE).
- PSE tests expert insights and knowledge of the implementation of Scrum, how to maximize the implementation of Scrum, its roles and rules, and the impact on the development and product management organization.
