Certified Scrum Master Audio Crash Course

COURSE CONVENTIONS AND CONTENT Welcome to the section on the course conventions and content! Before moving forward, I want to explain the concepts and methods I will use in this course. The material is divided into several chapters. Some chapters are split up into smaller sections. Each time I start a new section or chapter, I will give you the name so that you know where we are.

The certified scrum master exam is composed of questions that require you to demonstrate your knowledge of and experience with Scrum. Therefore, I will introduce some quizzes during the course. These quizzes will help you to measure your progress with the course material. They should also help you to reinforce what you have learned. You will find the quizzes in the ‘Follow-along’ PDF- Manual. I will discuss the PDF Manual in more detail a bit later. In each section, I will give you a quiz with questions related to the material from that section. You can pause the audio and take the quiz in the Follow-along PDF Manual. Once you complete the quiz, check your answers against the answer key. If you would like, return to the audio and resume play. I will give you the correct answers and explain the reasoning behind them. Remember, this course is not only about memorizing new concepts; it is also about applying theory to real world applications. Scrum master certification is proof that you know how to do this.

You will find the quizzes near the end of each chapter; most of them will contain ten questions. At the very end of each chapter, I will highlight the most important topics I discussed. Call them takeaways. The key takeaways will help you summarize and retain as much information as possible. There will usually be ten different takeaways; depending on the complexity of the topic, I may add more or present a few less.

Earlier, I mentioned a Follow-along PDF Manual. Each Audio Learn course contains a study guide a Follow-along PDF Manual. You can read this PDF from your laptop, tablet or phone, or you can also print it out the choice is yours.
