PAL-EBM exam questions and practice test
The Professional Agile Leadership – Evidence-Based Management (PAL-EBM) certification from Scrum.org checks whether you can use evidence to steer a product or organization. Questions cover the four Key Value Areas, setting Strategic, Intermediate and Immediate Tactical Goals, forming and testing hypotheses, and choosing measures that show value rather than activity. Our PAL-EBM exam questions follow the Evidence-Based Management Guide closely.

Sample PAL-EBM exam question
Which Key Value Area describes how quickly an organization can deliver new capability, service or product to customers?
- Current Value
- Unrealized Value
- Time to Market
- Ability to Innovate
Answer: 3. Time to Market covers how fast an organization can learn and deliver, using measures such as lead time and release frequency. Ability to Innovate is about how well it can deliver new capability at all. Every question in our bank explains its answer like this.

PAL-EBM FAQ
Is PAL-EBM the same as PAL I? No. PAL I covers agile leadership in general. PAL-EBM focuses on Evidence-Based Management. See our PAL I practice tests.
Is a course required? No. Scrum.org’s Professional Agile Leadership – Evidence-Based Management course is recommended but optional.
What should I study? The Evidence-Based Management Guide is the main source. Know the Key Value Areas, the goal types and how experiments work.
Does PAL-EBM expire? No. It is a lifetime certification with no renewal fee.
Are these real exam questions or dumps? Neither. Scrum.org’s real questions are confidential, and dumps break its rules and can cost you the certification. These are original questions written to the same format and topics, each with an explanation.
What if I don’t pass? Our money-back guarantee covers you. See the guarantee terms.
