The Scrum GuideTM is one of several resources we use to create the learning objectives for our Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner ®. A new version of the Scrum Guide was released 18 November 2020. It has been only been revised a handful of times since its publication in 2010.
We’re working with our community to determine how the new Scrum Guide might affect our course offerings. In the meantime, some of our Certified Scrum Trainers have created free content that will make the new Scrum Guide more accessible for you. First is a studio-quality audio version from Stu Mitchell and Sam Bowtell. Next is content from Mike Vizdos: a YouTube playlist, and an audio recording and interactive version of the Scrum Guide.
Audio Version: Scrum Guide 2020
Stu is the perfect person to record an audio Scrum Guide. In Stu’s previous life, he hosted TalkShow Radio and conducted voice overs. He has a Baritone tone, with just a hint of Scottish. Stu collaborated with fellow CST Sam Bowtell on the recording. The recording and editing / word checking was conducted by Pauline McCole (former BBC News presenter and correspondent) and Pete Atkins from the Soul Shack Studios, in Sydney Australia.

CSM Learning Objectives
As a reminder, our current CSM and CSPO learning objectives are based on the 2017 Scrum Guide and other resources from our community. Over the next several months, we are working with our community members to update our own CSM learning objectives and CSPO learning objectives with any relevant changes from the 2020 Scrum Guide
