Passed my Scrum Professional Certification (CSP), always good to refresh knowledge and more to share it
I have just passed my Scrum Professional Certification (CSP), a bit theoretical, but always good to groom and refresh knowledge and even more to share it. Please find below some links to my sources and the notes I have used.
Few observations, first the CSP certification path changed, so for those that have already or applying today (last day!), you will have up to 90 calendar days (from the date you apply) to schedule and complete the exam. Post 90 calendar days, your application will be discarded! For the others please find here more details about the new certification path.
On the other hand, the books and the web sites, I am listing here, remain excellent sources you may want to use to refresh or extend your Scrum knowledge.
