Why SBOK® Guide?

In recent years, it has become evident that organizations which use Scrum as their preferred project delivery framework consistently deliver very high Returns on Investment. The focus of Scrum on value–driven delivery helps Scrum Teams deliver results as early in the project as possible.

The SBOK® Guide was developed as a means to create a necessary guide for organizations and project management practitioners who want to implement Scrum, as well as those already doing so who want to make needed improvements to their processes. It is based on experience drawn from thousands of projects across a variety of organizations and industries. The contributions of many Scrum experts and project management practitioners have been considered in its development.
