Is CSM harder than PMP?
Is CSM harder than PMP®? To become a Certified Scrum Master (CSM), you need to finish a two-day course, succeed in the CSM exam, and join the Scrum Alliance. Many find the PMP® exam more challenging compared to the CSM exam.
The PMP® tests you for just under four hours with 180 questions to complete.
