Start Your Scrum Journey.
Welcome to the starting line.
This is where you build the foundation of your Scrum knowledge by understanding the framework's official rules, accountabilities, events, and artifacts.
Learning Scrum is like learning the rules of a new game.
You’ve heard the terms [Sprints, Daily Scrums, Product Owners, Backlogs] but it's hard to see how they all fit together.
Before you can practice, coach, or lead Scrum, you must understand the "what" and "why" of the framework.
You need the official rulebook.
Your journey starts with the Interactive Scrum Guide. It is the complete, official 2020 Scrum Guide, enhanced with audio, video, and direct comparisons to make the concepts clear and easy to learn.
We've broken down the guide to help you learn the three pillars of the framework.
Understand the 3 Scrum Accountabilities On A Scrum Team
Who does what? A Scrum Team has three specific sets of accountabilities:
The Product Owner (accountable for why and what), the Scrum Master (accountable for how), and the Developers (accountable for doing).
Learn the 5 Scrum Events
Scrum provides a rhythm through five formal events that create regularity. Learn the purpose, timebox, and attendees for The Sprint, Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective.
Grasp the 3 Artifacts (and their Commitments)
How does the team manage work and make progress visible? Through the Product Backlog (committed to via the Product Goal), the Sprint Backlog (committed to via the Sprint Goal), and the Increment (committed to via the Definition of Done).

Studying for your CSM or PSM Exam?
Stop memorizing. Start understanding.
Passing your certification exam means knowing the Scrum Guide inside and out. Exam questions are designed to test your understanding of the pure framework, not how a specific company uses it.
The best way to prepare is to know the official text cold. The Interactive Scrum Guide is your most powerful study tool.
Listen on the go: Use the built-in audio player to listen to the entire guide, section by section.
Study the changes: Exams love to ask about the 2020 updates. Use our side-by-side comparison tool to see exactly what changed from the 2017 guide.
Get clear definitions: When a question asks about the "Definition of Done," you can instantly hyperlink to the official definition and be 100% confident in your answer.
When you're ready to play the game...
Once you've learned the rules, it's time to move from theory to reality.
Your next stop is to Practice Scrum, where you'll find anti-patterns, real-world examples, and techniques for doing Scrum.
