Frequently Asked Questions
Is this based on the Scrum Alliance competency model?
Yes. The six competency pillars are grounded in the Scrum Alliance Scrum Master competency model, enhanced with practical coaching insights from training 2,500+ agile professionals.
I'm already a CSM/PSM — will this still be useful?
Especially so. Certification proves knowledge, not practice. This assessment reveals the gap between what you know and how you actually operate day-to-day — which is exactly where growth happens.
Is this really free?
Yes, completely free. You get your full Growth Wheel, Dreyfus-level scores for all six competency pillars, and personalised growth recommendations — no credit card, no sign-up required.
How long does it take?
About 5 minutes. The assessment has 30 questions — five per competency pillar. Each question asks you to rate yourself against an observable behaviour, so there are no trick questions or lengthy scenarios.
What's the Dreyfus model?
The Dreyfus model of skill acquisition describes five stages of mastery — from Beginner through to Expert. Unlike generic scoring, Dreyfus levels map to specific, observable behaviours at each stage.
Can I retake it?
Absolutely. Retaking every few months helps you track growth over time and see how deliberate practice shifts your scores.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your results are stored locally in your browser. If you choose to create an account later, your data stays private and is never shared or sold.
