The Scrum Master Study & Interview Kit

What you get

This kit does three jobs. It helps you learn Scrum the way the Scrum Guide (2020) describes it, check what you know with fresh practice questions, and walk into Scrum Master interviews with true, specific answers. When you get the job, the templates and 90-day plan help you start well.

• A 39-page PDF guide, US Letter
• Scrum Guide 2020 study notes: Scrum on one page, theory and values, the Scrum Team and its 3 accountabilities, all 5 events with timeboxes, and the 3 artifacts with their commitments
• What the Guide says, and what it doesn't: 12 common myths and complementary practices, from story points to "Sprint 0"
• A 4-week study and interview plan
• 40 practice questions in 4 sets of 10, written fresh for this kit, with an answer key that explains every answer. Not official exam questions
• 16 common Scrum Master interview questions: what they're testing, points for a strong answer and STAR prompts
• 6 scenarios to talk through and a story bank for 6 themes
• A facilitation planner, 8 retro formats, a retro template, an impediment log with escalation path, a working agreement and event checklists
• A first-90-days plan and a team health check
• 22 AI prompts to quiz yourself, decode job posts, build STAR stories, run a mock interview and plan retros, plus a truth check, in the PDF and a .txt file
• Word templates (.docx, 11 templates, 12 pages)
• Excel tracker (.xlsx, 6 tabs): practice scores, impediment log with age in days, 90-day plan with % done, health check and a Sprint log

Why it works

• Study notes follow the 2020 Guide's own terms: accountabilities, Developers, Product Goal and commitments
• It shows which popular practices are in the Guide and which are add-ons, so you can answer both ways in an interview
• Every answer in the key is explained, so a wrong answer teaches you something
• Interview answers come from your own experience. No scripts to memorize
• Every interview prompt tells the AI to use only your facts and flag what's missing. Prompt T1 is a truth check
• An independent study and interview guide. It isn't official exam prep and isn't affiliated with Scrum.org or Scrum Alliance

Best for: Aspiring and new Scrum Masters, and project managers, business analysts, team leads or developers moving into the role.
