Complete Scrum.org Certification Guide

The Complete Scrum.org Certification Guide is designed for professionals who want more than a credential-they want mastery. This comprehensive guide supports preparation for Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I), Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I), and Professional Scrum with Kanban I (PSK I) while emphasizing real-world application of Scrum and Kanban principles. Built around the Scrum Guide and the Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams, the book helps readers understand not just what Scrum is, but why it works and how to apply it effectively. Across six structured chapters, readers progress from foundational Scrum and Kanban concepts to role-specific mastery, flow optimization, and certification readiness. The book includes:Clear explanations of Scrum values, roles, events, artifacts, and commitmentsPractical guidance for servant leadership, facilitation, and team coachingProduct Owner techniques for backlog management, value delivery, forecasting, and Evidence-Based Management (EBM)Kanban practices for improving flow, including WIP limits, cycle time, throughput, and Service Level ExpectationsOver 290 practice questions, including chapter-level tests and a full 80-question mock exam aligned with Scrum.org exam style and difficultyExpanded rationales that reinforce understanding and exam readinessUnlike many certification books, this guide intentionally revisits core concepts across chapters reflecting how Scrum.org exams test understanding from multiple perspectives. It also bridges certification knowledge with modern practice, including guidance on AI-assisted learning and continuous improvement. Written by an experienced practitioner, educator, and global course author, The Complete Scrum.org Certification Guide is ideal for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Project Managers, Agile coaches, and team leaders seeking both certification success and lasting professional capability.
