What is unique about this book compared to any other material available for PSM 1?
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 that are not prescribed or endorsed by Scrum framework. Some of them misinterpret Scrum fundamentals. Such sources may add confusion and cloud your attempt to understand Scrum. Also, such an understanding will make one choose 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, 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 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. These granular interpretations are usually not evident in normal reading, but pop out when backed by questions around them. This book has PSM 1 question on almost every page.
