As a supplement to the Agile Scrum Foundation Courseware (ISBN: 978 94 018 0765 4), it is recommended to obtain the Agile Scrum Handbook (ISBN: 978 94 018 0759 3). The Courseware is accredited for the Agile Scrum Foundation certification from EXIN and includes sample exams, assignments, and strong visuals to enhance learning. Created by the author of the official certification manual, this course educates on Agile and Scrum, emphasizing their practical applications. It clarifies the meaning and use of Agile and Scrum, detailing the types of projects where these methodologies excel, enabling quicker real-world problem-solving. The course serves as a comprehensive guide to the core Scrum framework, based on the 2020 Scrum Guide edition, covering roles, responsibilities, events, and artifacts, with a section on scaling Scrum. Additionally, it includes a chapter on eXtreme Programming, exploring essential Agile practices like Test-Driven Development and Pair-Programming. An overview of the DSDM(R) methodology is provided, focusing on managing scope and fixed-price contracts in a structured manner, along with a general overview of Kanban.

This book is a simple guide for anyone who wants to learn about the Agile concept and the Scrum framework by:¢ understanding the reasons behind various approaches instead of just going through do's and don'ts and cliches, and¢ understanding the diversity and range of ideas in this domain rather than just the latest fashion.There are three types of content in this book:1. Fundamental concepts: The first and the last chapters are about the meaning and dynamics of Agile projects. They build a solid foundation that helps you learn the details on the one hand, and on the other hand, find your own way in projects.2. Frameworks: The Scrum chapter goes through all the details of this most popular framework because anyone involved in Agile projects these days needs to be familiar with it. Another necessity is Kanban, which is explored in its own chapter.3. Practices: There are chapters about Crystal, eXtreme Programming, and DSDM(R), which all use these methods to explore the most common Agile practices and techniques.
