Scrum: A Pocket Guide
About this book
Verheyen's compact guide to Scrum, written by a Professional Scrum Trainer and closely aligned to the Scrum Guide. Covers the origins in agile thinking, the framework itself in precise terms, and the tactics that sit outside the framework but are commonly confused with it. Also covers the future of Scrum and the common misreadings. Useful for exam preparation because it distinguishes what the Guide requires from what teams merely tend to do.
