Scrum Certification

Scrum has the magnetic characteristic to attract the individuals and organizations to adopt Scrum and achieve high value. Flexibility, creativity and productivity not only motivate those who work on projects but also give most favorable results to the organizations. The structure and unique features of this book that can help aspirants to adopt Scrum and get certified in PSM I or PSPO I examinations are: 1. Scrum Theory: Cover everything which is part of Scrum Guide. We have not adulterated the concepts of Scrum Guide in any manner. “Information Nuggets” are added at the end of the chapters to explain those aspects that need a little more explanation. 2. Additional Concepts: These topics are either mentioned in the Scrum Guide but not explained or are not part of Scrum Guide but are often asked in certification examinations. 3. Questions (400 Unique): This unit has 5 Model Test Papers (MTPs). Each MTP has 80 questions. We have endeavored to minimize repetition to zero levels. These 400 questions are result of in-depth research of those who train professionals to prepare for certification examinations and those who apply Scrum Framework in organizations. Master these 400 questions to clear PSM I or PSPO I certification exam in first attempt itself. 4. Scrum Rules in Tabular Format: Scrum journey requires referring to the Scrum rules as and when required. In Scrum Guide, these rules are not given separately and are merged with the theory. It is a time-consuming and tedious exercise for users to search these rules in theory. We have simplified this tedious exercise through a tabular format.

Building a successful product usually involves teams of people, and many choose the Scrum approach to aid in creating products that deliver the highest possible value. Implementing Scrum gives teams a collection of powerful ideas they can assemble to fit their needs and meet their goals. The ninety-four patterns contained within are elaborated nuggets of insight into Scrum’s building blocks, how they work, and how to use them. They offer novices a roadmap for starting from scratch, yet they help intermediate practitioners fine-tune or fortify their Scrum implementations. Experienced practitioners can use the patterns and supporting explanations to get a better understanding of how the parts of Scrum complement each other to solve common problems in product development. The patterns are written in the well-known Alexandrian form, whose roots in architecture and design have enjoyed broad application in the software world. The form organizes each pattern so you can navigate directly to organizational design tradeoffs or jump to the solution or rationale that makes the solution work. The patterns flow together naturally through the context sections at their beginning and end. Learn everything you need to know to master and implement Scrum one step at a time—the agile way.
