Scaled Professional Scrum SPS™ Exam Prep

SPS practice test for Scaled Professional Scrum and Nexus

The Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS) certification from Scrum.org checks that you can scale Scrum with the Nexus framework, where three to nine Scrum Teams build one product. Questions cover the Nexus Integration Team, Nexus events, cross-team dependencies and producing one integrated Increment every Sprint. Our SPS practice tests follow the Nexus Guide and the Scrum Guide.

Please note: ScrumPrep sells practice tests, not the exam. The $29 covers our SPS practice tests only. You book and pay for the official SPS exam separately with Scrum.org.

What the SPS exam tests

• Nexus framework: roles, events and artifacts, and how they extend Scrum.
• Nexus Integration Team: its accountability and how it works with the Scrum Teams.
• Integration and Done: one Integrated Increment, a shared Definition of Done and dependency management.
• Scaling Scrum: when to scale, and how to keep empiricism at scale.

Sample SPS exam question

In a Nexus, who is accountable for ensuring a done Integrated Increment is produced at least once every Sprint?

1. Each Scrum Team’s Developers separately.
2. The Nexus Integration Team.
3. The Product Owner.
4. A release manager.

Answer: 2. The Nexus Guide makes the Nexus Integration Team accountable for the Integrated Increment, while the Scrum Teams do the integration work. Every question in our bank explains its answer like this.

Two ways to prepare: Practice Mode and Mock Exam Mode

• Practice Mode: study at your own pace. Choose how many questions you want in each session, from a short set to all 182 questions, with no time limit and an in-depth explanation after every answer. Progress saves automatically.
• Mock Exam Mode (Timed Mode): sit a full mock exam that mimics the real one: 40 random questions in 60 minutes, scored at the end. Every attempt draws a new random set.
• In-depth explanations: every question comes with a detailed explanation that walks you through what the question is really asking and why the correct answer is right, so you understand the reasoning instead of memorizing answers.
• Benchmarking: compare your scores with other candidates and see which topics need work.
• Lifetime access with updates whenever Scrum.org changes the exam.

SPS FAQ

Is SPS the same as SAFe? No. SPS is Scrum.org’s scaling certification based on Nexus. SAFe is a different framework with its own certifications.

Do I need to know Scrum first? Yes. SPS assumes solid Scrum knowledge, at roughly PSM I level.

Is a course required? No. Scrum.org’s Scaled Professional Scrum course is recommended but optional.

Does SPS 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 in-depth explanation.

What if I don’t pass? Our money-back guarantee covers you. See the guarantee terms.
