Hello Folks,

Would it be better to take the SPS assessment before taking the PSM II.  I have already taken CSM and PSPO I.

Thanks

Amer

I don’t think there is any order, different areas and directions of knowledge:

PSMII is scrummaster's advanced application and practical scenario problem solving skills knowledge inspection;

How does SPS extend the scrum framework to multiple teams, more complex, and rely on more products or projects.

Wish you success

It really depends on if the SPS will provide any benefit for you and your career. If not, why do it? You can just as easily read the Nexus Guide and gain enough of the information needed for the PSM2 (as there are SPS related questions on the PSM2). Taking an exam, just so it would help you pass another exam doesn't really provide a lot of benefit in my opinion.

I second what Curtis said. SPS is not that big of a part in passing the PSM II exam. Experience and taking the course trumps anything else.
