Agile Scrum Crash Course: A Guide To Agile Project Management and Scrum Master Certification PSM 1

To be fair, I've been a technical project manager for many years, but never did Agile projects. I literally started reading this this morning, went through the other resources the author said to go to, reread again this afternoon, took some notes (the test is open-book), paid my fee, took the exam a few hours ago and voila - successIt's laid out really well, it's concise and gets to the point without any additional fluff.Perfect for it's intent.

A little outdated but it’s great for learning the basic concepts.

This book is packed with all the information required to pass PSM 1, and it was very easy to read. You would be able to read it in one sitting. Thans Umer for your great work!!

I bought this book as a supplement to the reading for PM courses I teach at the Community College. I wanted something not too heavy or detailed yet had enough information to convey the key concepts of Agile/Scrum to an audience predominantly non-PMs. This hit the mark - it explains the Basics, the Events, the Teams, and the Artifacts, with examples. Its an easy read, its a cheap price (especially for college students) and its been effective - just enough.

Great guide for breaking down the fundamentals of Scrum and covering all you need to know not only for the exam, but for the working knowledge to practice Scrum values in your everyday work.Highly recommend this guide.

Comparing to online videos I believe this book may be outdated. For instance it states most sprints are one month long. Videos from other sources indicate that sprints are two weeks long. Additionally, it is riddled with typos, appears is had been updated at some point and not thoroughly reviewed.

Lots of reviews says this book is poorly written with typos and grammatical errors and what's taught in the book are already lessons people know. Well, that is what I was looking for. I wanted a book that broke it down, made things simple and easy to understand, and was a "crash course" in agile/scrum. Yeah, there's typos and grammatical errors throughout the book but I didnt care. I just wanted to know more about the premise of agile/scrum before actually taking and paying for classes or getting a certificate/license. Its a great book for reference when you need a refresher in agile.

Very well written and covers subject matter in an easy to read approach.Recommended if taking Professional Scrum Master (PSM) exams
