Is Agile Practitioner the same as Scrum Master?

No, an Agile Practitioner is not the same as a Scrum Master. While Agile Practitioners may utilise frameworks like Scrum and other Agile methods, the CSM (Certified ScrumMaster) focuses solely on the Scrum methodology.

Additionally, the Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI®-ACP) certification requires 1500 hours in Agile projects and 2000 hours in general project management, unlike CSM with no experience mandate.
