The title of the book “A Coach’s Guide to Training Scrum” is a form of understatement. If it actually provides some guidance about training people to Scrum, this book contains actually a complete step-by-step course to teach Scrum that an Agile coach could use “as is”. The initial chapter discusses the training approach used for the course and provides some considerations on how to perform a training course. The following chapters cover Scrum topics (product backlog, backlog grooming, etc…) with a training plan, slides used for the topic, workbook pages and exercises used for the topic. One of the strong points of the book is the material contained in the associated website where you can download training plans, quiz questions, feedback forms and other templates. I naturally recommend this book to every Agile coach that is responsible to train people about Scrum and Agile in their organizations, but I think that the material and the concepts presented in this book and its companion website will be very useful to anyone who has to train, manage and improve a software development project team, whether you follow a Scrum approach or a more traditional project management approach.
