WHAT IS SCRUM? Scrum was formulated as a faster, more flexible way to deliver the greatest value in the least amount of time. Scrum ensures transparency in communication and creates an environment of collective accountability and continuous progress, and it relies on adaptive planning and iterative development and delivery. It focuses primarily on the value of people in getting the job done effectively. Several organisations around the globe are accepting Scrum as a primary project management framework for their projects, especially when they operate in a dynamic business environment. Growing popularity and acceptability of Scrum has created a great demand for Scrum-certified professionals in the job market.

THE SBOK™ GUIDE You will be provided with a comprehensive manual for study purposes. The manual, ‘A Guide to the Scrum Body of Knowledge (SBOK™ Guide)’, is intended for use as a reference and knowledge guide. Although the SBOK™ Guide is over 400 pages long, its contents are organised for easy reference, regardless of the reader’s prior knowledge on the subject. The SBOK™ Guide draws from the combined knowledge and insight gained from thousands of projects across a variety of organisations and industries. Its development is a collaborative effort from a large number of experts and practitioners in a variety of disciplines. Scrum, as defined in the SBOK™ Guide, is applicable to the following:

• Portfolios, programs, and/or projects in any industry • Products, services, or any other results to be delivered

to stakeholders • Projects of any size or complexity

Wide adoption of the SBOK™ Guide framework standardises how Scrum is applied to projects across organisations globally, as well as significantly helps to improve their Return on Investment.
