A continual endeavor will be made to enhance to coverage and effectiveness of the content.While this book series is aimed at those interested in Scrum Master Certification, it will be useful for other certification aspirants - Product Owners, Developers - since it provides quite an extensive coverage of Scrum Fundamentals, common to these roles. |

| csm scrum alliance exam questions: Scrum Narrative and PSM Exam Guide Mohammed Musthafa Soukath Ali, 2015 Scrum continues to prove as an effective newer way of working. This new way is rapidly making into many organizations, in particular the software development divisions due to the transformation results it delivers. The authentic source to know about Scrum and the approved body of knowledge on Scrum is The Scrum Guide authored by Jeff Sutherland and Ken Schwaber. The 16 page guide is too dense to absorb without context and too theoretical without correlations.This book reveal Scrum Guide content with lot of context and correlations.The first part of the book is for the Executives, narrating Scrum in a lightweight and engaging fashion. While many books on Scrum position Scrum as collection of roles and practices, this book introduces Scrum's transformation roots that bring in a newer way of working, with far reaching effects.The second part is a coaching section for the Professionals getting into Scrum, getting into finer aspects of Scrum required for professionals working on the ground. It walks through the stages of Scrum Journey from Starting, Executing, and then Closing. Unlike many books that limit to the mechanics of Scrum, this book addresses plenty of practical questions including business management, team and task management, product engineering, etc such that this understanding enhances job skills on the top of the Scrum theory. The entire book is an all-in-one guidance book for PSM 1 Aspirants, preparing for the the most meritorious certificate of all that certify Scrum - Professional Scrum Master (PSM 1). PSM 1 is a high quality Scrum certificate administered by Scrum.org, that is guided by Ken Schwaber, one of the original two authors of Scrum. Unlike many other Scrum certificates, PSM is not a vanity means to claim Scrum knowledge, but a rigorous assessment of the knowledge in original Scrum. Its fee is nominal @$150. Once acquired, it does not require renewal.Though there are multiple scattered materials are available, there is no comprehensive guidance for PSM assessment preparation. This book is a one-stop source including guidance on understanding, enrollment, preparation, practicing, and getting the certificate. The book augments the Scrum Narrative with exam preparation tips, quick tests and a full blown assessment like a real assessment. It provides 250+ PSM 1 assessment related questions to practice. What is unique about this book? Sticks to Authentic Version of Scrum: There are many sources available that teach Scrum and provide training material for PSM. It is common for them to provide a muddied version of Scrum associating it with Activities, artifacts, and sub-techniques not prescribed or endorsed by Scrum framework and interchange and incorrect representation of Scrum terms. Such sources may add confusion and cloud your attempt to understand Scrum. Also, such an understanding will make one loose the points by incorrect answers in PSM assessment. This book articulates the original unpolluted Scrum framework as defined in its authentic source, the Scrum Guide. Wherever, there are exceptions/additional pointers with respect to Scrum Guide, they are highlighted by DE-TOUR tag. Anchors the learning firmly using Active Learning technique: This book will help you dig the deeper meaning behind the Scrum by means of active learning. Active Learning used in this book refers to - Not just passive reading of the content, but taking frequent pauses during the reading, looking at a question about what was read, and then thinking, analyzing, and inferring the subject through answering that question. The questions make you think about the granular interpretations behind every statement of Scrum Guide. These granular interpretations are usually not... |

| csm scrum alliance exam questions: A Scrum Book Jeff Sutherland, James O. Coplien, 2019-08-16 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. |

| csm scrum alliance exam questions: Hybrid Project Management Mark Tolbert, Susan Parente, 2020-10-08 Compared to a few decades ago, companies today are faced with a much more challenging environment providing successful products and solutions for their customers. They are dealing with global competition, very rapid change in technologies, and tremendous volatility in economic conditions. As project managers, we are helping our companies survive in this difficult landscape. We are “agents of change” and “drivers of change.” The most important project management methodology today that will help us deal with this change and this volatility is Agile. However, no one process or project management methodology fits all situations! Agile is not a panacea for all projects. Many times, our projects are large enough and complex enough that some parts of the project are best suited to using a predictive planning approach, and other parts are more suited to using Agile. Therefore, a hybrid approach that mixes the traditional, waterfall approach with Agile is really required in many situations today. The agile community oftentimes has quite a negative view of hybrid approaches. Key writers on Agile often say that attempting to use hybrid will corrupt all attempts to use Agile, and will result in failure. In this book, the argument is made that integrating these methodologies can be done if approached the right way, and in fact, this is necessary today. |

| csm scrum alliance exam questions: Agile Project Management with Scrum Ken Schwaber, 2004-02-11 The rules and practices for Scrum—a simple process for managing complex projects—are few, straightforward, and easy to learn.

| csm scrum alliance exam questions: The Scrum Field Guide Mitch Lacey, 2012 Thousands of IT professionals are being asked to make Scrum succeed in their organizations-including many who weren't involved in the decision to adopt it. If you're one of them, The Scrum Field Guide will give you skills and confidence to adopt Scrum more rapidly, more successfully, and with far less pain and fear. Long-time Scrum practitioner Mitch Lacey identifies major challenges associated with early-stage Scrum adoption, as well as deeper issues that emerge after companies have adopted Scrum, and describes how other organizations have overcome them. You'll learn how to gain quick wins that build support, and then use the flexibility of Scrum to maximize value creation across the entire process. In 30 brief, engaging chapters, Lacey guides you through everything from defining roles to setting priorities to determining team velocity, choosing a sprint length, and conducting customer reviews. Along the way, he explains why Scrum can seem counterintuitive, offers a solid grounding in the core agile concepts that make it work, and shows where it can (and shouldn't) be modified. Coverage includes Getting teams on board, and bringing new team members aboard after you've started Creating a definition of done for the team and organization Implementing the strong technical practices that are indispensable for agile success Balancing predictability and adaptability in release planning Keeping defects in check Running productive daily standup meetings Keeping people engaged with pair programming Managing culture clashes on Scrum teams Performing emergency procedures to get sprints back on track Establishing a pace your team can truly sustain Accurately costing projects, and measuring the value they deliver Documenting Scrum projects effectively Prioritizing and estimating large backlogs Integrating outsourced and offshored components Packed with real-world examples from Lacey's own experience, this book is invaluable to everyone transitioning to agile: developers, architects, testers, managers, and project owners alike. |
