Fred Heath’s book “The Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) Guide” presents a conceptional view of Scrum and provided information about legacy waterfall methodology. The chapters are written in a logical chronological order so that readers could understand the topics.This book can also be helpful for the preparation for the PSM certification exam. Section 3 covers all the related information as well as Mock assessment questions and answers.

Agile project methodology has benefited only if it is truly understood and followed with disciplines. A lot of projects on paper say they follow agile but they are not because not everyone on the team understands the mindset of Agile.This book in three sections covers everything you need to understand Agile. Bonus it prepares you for the PSM certification.Every chapter has some quiz. I personally like quizzes as it asserts if I have successfully understood the content covered in the chapter.Overall this is a great book if you are a beginner to Agile development methodolgoy.

Pros:This is a great book and it is well organised and easy to understand. The book is laid out nicely so that each subject is tested with mini-quizzes before some broader questions at the end. I found it really useful.Suggestions to improve and clear the exam-• 7-8 pages Scrum guide is Bible for the PSM-I exam. Though book had covered everything in detail but inbulid short notes are always preferred. So, it would be good if that original Scrum guide could also be attached at start or end (whichever been preferred) along with short font which page had covered that point. (People could get that Scrum guide that from Scrum.org main website but why to make that extra pain).• Though book had many questions but sample atleast 3-4 full length test papers(solved) are missing. Practicing questions is second key to pass the exam.• Proper Tools Usage missing- Following above two points are enough to pass the exam but this point will help for practical implementation. I see the tools mentioned like velocity chart, burndown and burnup charts under JIRA dashboard, but accurate guided steps missing. Could have added a short Section of 7-8 pages as Appendix for tools actually guiding how to build them.Lastly Practice Practice Practice the Scrum guide + full length test back and forth till get above 85% in each.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
