Professionals aiming to introduce Scrum within their organizations often inquire about recommended resources for teams primarily composed of developers who are new to Agile and Scrum methodologies. Many available books cater to specific roles like Scrum Masters, neglecting the essential interplay between various Scrum roles crucial for effective implementation. For a comprehensive understanding of Scrum and the respective responsibilities within a Scrum project, I would recommend the book "Scrum: A Pocket Guide" by Gunther Verheyen. This guide offers insights into the collaborative dynamics between team members, facilitating a holistic grasp of Scrum principles and practices essential for success.

This is tricky question to answer as it is quite generic. However, A Guide to Scrum Body of Knowledge by SCRUMstudy, provides Scrum guidelines and knowledge relevant for each of the core Scrum roles – Product Owner, Scrum Master, and the Scrum Team. If you don’t have time to read the complete book, you can read the sections relevant to your role as per the details in the ‘Roles Guide’ topic mentioned in each chapter.

The SBOK™ Guide was developed for organizations and professionals who want to implement Scrum in small as well as large projects. It is intended for use as a reference and knowledge guide by both experienced Scrum and other product or service development practitioners, as well as by persons with no prior experience or knowledge of Scrum or any other project delivery methodology.

The SBOK™ Guide is especially valuable:

• to Scrum Core Team members including:
  • Product Owners who want to fully understand the Scrum framework and particularly the customer or business stakeholder-related concerns involving business justification, quality, change, and risk aspects associated with Scrum projects;
  • Scrum Masters who want to learn their specific role in overseeing the application of the Scrum framework to Scrum projects;
  • Scrum Team members who want to better understand Scrum processes and the associated tools that may be used to create the project’s product or service.
  • as a comprehensive guide for Scrum practitioners working on Scrum projects in any organization or industry;
  • as a reference source for anyone interacting with the Scrum Core Team, including but not limited to the Portfolio Product Owner, Portfolio Scrum Master, Program Product Owner, Program Scrum Master, Scrum Guidance Body, and Business Stakeholders (i.e., sponsor, customer, and users);
  • as a handbook for any person who has no prior experience or knowledge of Scrum but wants to learn more about the subject.

You can access the initial chapter of the SBOK™ Guide and a complimentary introductory course on Scrum through SCRUMstudy. Explore these resources, and if you find them useful, you have the option to purchase a physical copy of the SBOKTM Guide.
