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.<\/p>\n
Few observations, first the CSP certification path changed, so for those that have already or applying today (last day!),\u00a0you 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<\/a> more details about the new certification path.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Books<\/strong><\/p>\n Other notes and sources<\/strong><\/p>\n How Do We Know When We Are Done?<\/a> – Scrum Alliance<\/p>\n What is Definition of Done (DoD)? <\/a>– Scrum Alliance<\/p>\n You aren’t gonna need it<\/a> – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<\/p>\n Gold plating (software engineering)<\/a>\u00a0– Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<\/p>\n The\u00a0Retrospective Prime Directive<\/a><\/p>\n The Retrospective – Safety Check to help the team<\/a><\/p>\n INVEST in Good Stories<\/a>, and SMART Tasks | XP123<\/p>\n More links:<\/strong><\/p>\n Writing Stories<\/a><\/p>\n Selling Agile<\/a> Whitepaper<\/p>\n The Scrum training series<\/a><\/p>\n Obstacles to enterprise Agility<\/a><\/p>\n The Scrum Reference Card<\/a><\/p>\n The Scrum Master Checklist<\/a><\/p>\n The Scrum Guide<\/a>\n
