Professional Product Discovery and Validation™ Certification
Prove Your Knowledge of Discovery and Validation
The Professional Product Discovery and Validation™ (PPDV) certification validates your knowledge of how to use discovery and validation techniques and when to apply them.
PPDV ensures that you understand how to appropriately use discovery and validation techniques. Many questions ask you to think about how to use potential or current users to deliver the right product capabilities to market.
PPDV also tests your ability to enhance value creation by applying discovery and validation skills. Attending a Professional Product Discovery and Validation™ class is required and this assessment is not available for purchase.

- Engage with Vision

Unlike other Scrum certifications that are awarded for attendance in a class, earning a Scrum.org certification requires proof of knowledge and understanding by passing the certification test. You can take the Professional Scrum certification test whether you have attended a Scrum.org class or not, though each Scrum.org training class is a great learning experience and includes a free attempt at the associated certification.
Protecting the integrity of the certification process is very important to us. By taking a test with Scrum.org you agree to abide by our Standard of Conduct. You will not receive information about the specific questions that were answered correctly or incorrectly, however you will receive a breakdown of your performance based on the Professional Scrum Competencies.
