There were many other factors that contributed to this change of management. Much will likely remain unknown. I am personally opposed to this exam. I was indifferent for a while, but I believe it will water down the work we do as trainers. An exam forces Scrum to become a defined process (it must be defined in order to be tested against). This will be its downfall. I am not sure it is accurate to say that the exam was the reason that Jim Cundiff left the Scrum Alliance and Ken stepped down as chairman.
