There are many paid resources out there but I do not feel it is always necessary to pay.  The scrum guide is good but short.  This one I can recommend: http://www.freescrumebook.com

 

What are your thoughts?

Best scrum books are not free. However. you can start with free The Scrum Guide by ken anf jeff.

The next free resource to learn executive version of scrum is the book A Lightning Introduction to Scrum https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/644497 .

Hi,

 

You may encounter books you’ve seen before or perhaps read once. In that case, ask yourself whether or not you’ve applied everything you’ve learned from the book. If not, perhaps it’s time to read the book again and extract more from it. 

 

My suggetion is AGILE MASTERY is the best book.

I’d recommend “Scrum: A Pocket Guide” by Gunther Verheyen. It’s a great read, even though it’s not always free, you can often find it at no cost through various promotions. It covers the essentials of Scrum in a clear, concise way, and is perfect for beginners. Also, check out “Scrum and XP from the Trenches” by Henrik Kniberg, which is often available online for free and offers practical insights.
