Why Agile Skills Are in Demand Across Japan

The 2026 Digital Cliff

Japan faces a projected shortfall of around 220,000 IT professionals, leaving teams stretched. Skilled Scrum Masters help lean teams deliver more predictably, the gap ASM is built to close.

ASM builds team facilitation skills

DX That Stalls at Pilot Stage

Around 77% of Japanese firms run DX initiatives, but only about a third see real results. Scrum Masters close the strategy-to-delivery gap that leaves projects stuck in proof of concept.

ASM builds delivery and coaching skills

Legacy and Waterfall Culture

Many enterprises still run waterfall and legacy systems. Certified Scrum Masters lead the change to agile ways of working, coaching teams and managing resistance during transformation.

ASM builds change and adoption skills

Bilingual Agile Facilitation Gap

Employers struggle to find facilitators who can coach agile teams in Japanese and English. An EXIN credential signals proven Scrum competence to global and domestic employers alike.

ASM signals proven Scrum competence

Enterprise-Wide AI Delivery

As firms embed AI into mission-critical systems, iterative delivery becomes essential. Scrum Masters keep fast-moving AI and data teams focused, transparent and adaptive.

ASM builds iterative delivery skills

Ageing Workforce and Knowledge Loss

An ageing workforce makes self-managing, cross-functional teams vital. Scrum Masters build the team practices that protect delivery as experienced staff retire.

Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

The Agile Scrum Master certification is an EXIN credential that validates your ability to facilitate the Scrum process, remove impediments and coach agile teams. It is the second level of the EXIN Agile Scrum scheme, after Agile Scrum Foundation, and is recognised by employers worldwide.

General

What is the Agile Scrum Master certification?

Is the ASM certification worth it in Japan?

Yes. With Japan accelerating digital transformation amid a severe IT talent shortage, employers increasingly value Scrum Masters who can prove their competence. ASM is a globally recognised, exam-backed credential that supports roles such as Scrum Master, agile coach and delivery manager.

Who should take the EXIN Agile Scrum Master course?

The course suits practising and aspiring Scrum Masters, team leads, developers, QA specialists and project managers moving to agile delivery. Anyone facilitating or supporting a Scrum team in Japan will benefit. Talk to a learning advisor if you are unsure it fits your role.

Do I need Agile Scrum Foundation first?

EXIN recommends Agile Scrum Foundation knowledge as the entry point, but it is not strictly enforced as a mandatory prerequisite in most cases. If you already understand the Scrum framework and agile principles, you can progress to ASM. Verify the current policy when you register.

How long is the ASM certification valid?

The ASM certification is valid for life. There is no expiry, renewal fee or continuing-education requirement, so once you pass the EXIN exam the credential remains yours permanently.

Pricing

How much does ASM training cost in Japan?

ASM training fees in Japan vary by format, such as live online or corporate group delivery, and are available on request. Your fee covers expert-led training, courseware and exam preparation. Request a quote for current pricing and upcoming batches.

What is included in the course fee?

The course fee typically includes instructor-led training across the five EXIN topic areas, official courseware, practice questions, mock exams and learner support. An exam voucher is often bundled in accredited training packages. Ask a learning advisor what your plan includes.

Is the EXIN exam fee included in the price?

EXIN prices the exam separately, and it is sometimes bundled into accredited training packages. Pricing varies by region and channel, so confirm whether your package includes the exam voucher. Contact us for a quote that spells out exactly what is covered.

Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams across Japan. Get in touch for a tailored group quote for your organisation.

We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

Exam

What is the format of the EXIN ASM exam?

The EXIN Agile Scrum Master exam is a closed-book, multiple-choice examination with single-answer questions. It is based on the EXIN Agile Scrum Master Examination Specification and tests your ability to apply Scrum Master skills in realistic scenarios.

How many questions are on the ASM exam?

The exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and a time limit of 90 minutes. You need 65% correct, which is 26 of the 40 questions, to pass.

What is the passing score for the ASM exam?

The passing score is 65%, meaning 26 of the 40 questions must be correct. The questions focus on applying Scrum Master facilitation and coaching skills, so broad, practical understanding matters more than memorisation.

How is the ASM exam delivered in Japan?

You can sit the exam through EXIN online proctoring from home or office, or at an EXIN accredited test location. Delivery is also available via accredited training providers, so you can choose whichever option is most convenient for you in Japan.

What happens if I do not pass the exam?

You can retake the EXIN exam if you do not pass first time. Our training includes practice questions and mock exams to prepare you, and you can confirm re-sit fees and policy with EXIN before rebooking.

Course Content

What topics does the ASM training cover?

The training covers all five EXIN ASM topic areas: the agile way of thinking, the Scrum Master role, agile estimating, planning, monitoring and control, complex projects, and adopting agile. It blends Scrum framework depth with practical facilitation skills.

Can a beginner take the Agile Scrum Master course?

Yes. While EXIN recommends Agile Scrum Foundation knowledge, the course is structured to bring you up to speed on the Scrum framework before going deeper into the Scrum Master role. Trainers support beginners with examples and hands-on practice.

Are practice questions and mock exams included?

Yes. The programme includes practice questions, full-length mock exams and topic-wise quizzes mapped to the EXIN exam, helping you identify weak areas and build readiness before the 40-question exam.

Is the courseware aligned to the latest EXIN syllabus?

Yes. The courseware is aligned to the current EXIN Agile Scrum Master Examination Specification and the Scrum Guide, so you study content that reflects what the exam tests.

Will I get a certificate of completion?

Yes. After completing the training you receive a course completion certificate. Passing the EXIN exam separately earns you the official EXIN Agile Scrum Master certificate and digital badge.

Enrollment

How do I enrol in the ASM course in Japan?

You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. A learning advisor can help you pick the right batch.

What training formats are available?

We offer live online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom sessions and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule in Japan.
