PSPO I study materials - help needed !!!
Hi everyone,
I have been using Scrum for quite a few years now (PM partly working as Scrum Master) and I decideded to go for the PSPO I certification so I can gain a better insight into the ""by the book" scrum product owner.
Sadly, up to this point, I could not find a single official book presenting the required info for the exam. All I was able to find was the generic scrum guide and a lot of invites to get into a classroom training.
I asked about CBT, but nobody seems to know anything about an online course.
Now that online courses seem to be completely out of the way, what book should I focus on in order to cover the exact courseware?
The official website has a long list of books, but I do not know which is the official study book. Without one it feels like someone is saying "well, but these books and hope that you will know enough by the end to pass the exam".
Thanks in advance,
Vlad

Charles - Thank you. Very helpful.
EBMgmt is interesting. Is it a proven model today where some organization has implemented this?
In one of the training, Ken schwaber talked about the notion of value - that it depends on who wants to know - user vs developer vs organization. And we also heard some measurement parameters under each of them.
So - PSPO standpoint
- do we have to go by EBMgmt approach of KVA and KVM or Ken's notion of user vs dev ve org?
Hello,
Thanks for your inputs. Would be glad to know what books to start with the preparation of PSPO 1.

Hi Soundarya,
if you need to pass quickly PSPO 1 certification it will be enough to read Scrum Guide (but try not only to read but also to imagine different situations) and you have to practice some exam simulators. You need to choose your own exam simulator, personally I chose volkerdon to pass PSM 1 and PSPO 1 (>95% for both exams). And read some articles from ScrumCrazy.
If you have much free time defiinitely it will be very useful to read books. I will reccomend you Roman Pichler's books.
For both PSM 1 and PSPO 1 read the scrum guide thoroughly before attempting these two eaxms.
