| certified scrum product owner training india: 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... |

| certified scrum product owner training india: 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. But Scrum’s simplicity itself—its lack of prescription—can be disarming, and new practitioners often find themselves reverting to old project management habits and tools and yielding lesser results. In this illuminating series of case studies, Scrum co-creator and evangelist Ken Schwaber identifies the real-world lessons—the successes and failures—culled from his years of experience coaching companies in agile project management. Through them, you’ll understand how to use Scrum to solve complex problems and drive better results—delivering more valuable software faster. Gain the foundation in Scrum theory—and practice—you need to: Rein in even the most complex, unwieldy projects Effectively manage unknown or changing product requirements Simplify the chain of command with self-managing development teams Receive clearer specifications—and feedback—from customers Greatly reduce project planning time and required tools Build—and release—products in 30-day cycles so clients get deliverables earlier Avoid missteps by regularly inspecting, reporting on, and fine-tuning projects Support multiple teams working on a large-scale project from many geographic locations Maximize return on investment! |

| certified scrum product owner training india: The Professional Scrum Team Peter Götz, Uwe Schirmer, Kurt Bittner, 2020-11-23 The Scrum Framework comprises eleven rules based on empirical process control. These rules can easily be described and understood, but they can be extremely challenging for teams to implement. The Professional Scrum Team helps real-world teams bring Scrum rules to life in their everyday work. Leading Scrum.org consultants and trainers Peter G tz and Uwe M. Schirmer bring together proven practices based on their real-life experience working in (and with) real Scrum teams. They show how Scrum teams can optimize their performance as teams, and how each participant can work more successfully as a Scrum team member. The authors introduce a team as it starts out with Scrum, and follows that team as it gains experience and functions with increasing effectiveness. First, you'll watch the team discover that its legacy approach to developing complex software doesn't work, seek a better way, and discover Scrum. Next, you'll watch the team take its first steps with Scrum and gain hard-won practical experience. In Part II, you'll watch as it finds better ways to discuss and describe requirements to optimize stakeholder collaboration, so developers can create the right product. Then, in Part III, you'll turn to development team practices and agile tools, discovering ways to continually improve quality and deliver functionality in ever-shorter cycles. |

| certified scrum product owner training india: Coach the Person, Not the Problem Marcia Reynolds, 2020-06-02 From a founding member of the coaching movement comes a detailed guide to mastering one of a coach's toughest skills: thoughtfully reflecting clients' words and expressions back to them so they see themselves and their world through new eyes. “Coaches rely far too much on asking open-ended questions,” says Marcia Reynolds. But questions only seek answers—inquiry provides insight. When, instead of just questions, clients hear their thoughts, opinions, and beliefs spoken by someone else, it prompts them to critically consider how their thinking affects their goals. Reynolds cites the latest brain science to show why reflective inquiry works and provides techniques, tips, and structures for creating breakthrough conversations. This book will free coaches from the cult of asking the magical question by offering five essential practices of reflective inquiry: focus on the person, not the problem; summarize what is heard and expressed; identify underlying beliefs and assumptions; unwrap the desired outcome; and articulate insights and commitments. Using these practices, combined with a respectful and caring presence, helps create a space where clients feel safe, seen, and valued for who they are. Coaches become change agents who actively recharge the human spirit. And clients naturally dive deeper and develop personalized solutions that may surprise even the coach. |

| certified scrum product owner training india: Kanban from the Inside Mike Burrows, 2014-09-01 I set myself the task of describing the 'humane, start with what you do now approach to change' not as a productivity tool, but as a management method built around a strong framework of values-a way to help organizations work better for their people, their customers, and other stakeholders. - Mike Burrows, author Kanban from the Inside takes a distinctive approach to the Kanban Method-using a system of nine values to explain what it is, to give insight into how its practitioners think, and to offer practical advice on how to apply it. Readers new to Kanban will understand why and how it works, while those with experience will appreciate its fresh perspective and the connections it makes with a range of related models. Part I draws on real-world experience to explain the Kanban Method through nine values: transparency, balance, collaboration, customer focus, flow, leadership, understanding, agreement, and respect. It also introduces Kanban's three Agendas and the Kanban Lens. Part II describes other models useful to understanding and applying the Kanban Method more effectively. It is a tour through related bodies of knowledge, including Systems Thinking, Lean, Agile, and Theory of Constraints. Part III is a step-by-step implementation guide that brings up to date the Systems Thinking Approach to Introducing Kanban (STATIK). It offers practical ways to capture and address in your Kanban implementation the needs of your organization, your colleagues, and your customers. --------------------------- This book is the new standard that I will recommend to anyone getting started with Kanban. -Wolfgang Wiedenroth, Kanban Trainer/Coach, it-agile It is not focused just on the mechanics of the kanban board; rather it explains everything you need around it to keep a Kanban initiative moving. -Klaus Leopold, Kanban Trainer/Coach, LEANability This gave me a deeper understanding of familiar concepts and introduced concepts new to me. -Kevin Murray, Delivery Director, Valtech UK |
