The SBOK™ Guide is broadly divided into the following three areas:
- Principles covered in chapter 2, expand on the six principles which form the foundation on which Scrum is based.
- Aspects covered in chapters 3 through 7 describe the five aspects that are important considerations for all Scrum projects.
- Processes covered in chapters 8 through 12 include the nineteen Scrum processes and their associated inputs, tools, and outputs.
How to Use the SBOK™ Guide?
The SBOK™ Guide can be used as a reference and knowledge guide by both experienced Scrum and other product and service development practitioners, as well as by persons with no prior experience or knowledge of Scrum or project management methodology.
The contents are organised for easy reference by the three Scrum Core Team roles: Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Scrum Team.
The chapters covering the six Scrum principles (chapter 2) and five Scrum aspects (chapter 3 through 7) include a Roles Guide. This guide provides direction regarding the relevance of each section in the chapter to the Scrum Core Team roles.
To facilitate the best application of the Scrum framework, the SBOK™ Guide has differentiated mandatory inputs, tools, and outputs from non-mandatory or optional ones.
Inputs, tools, and outputs denoted by asterisks (*) are mandatory, while others with no asterisks are optional. It is recommended that those being introduced to Scrum focus primarily on the mandatory inputs, tools, and outputs, while more experienced practitioners should read the entire process chapters.
