Agile Project Management with SCRUM (based on the book from Ken Schwaber) - a cheat sheet

Several years back I read the book "Agile Project Management" by Ken Schwaber. From my point of view this is a good introductory book to learn the basics of Agile Project Management with SCRUM. I had created a kind of cheat sheet at the time that I share below so that you can use it to become familiar with the basic SCRUM ideas quickly.

First here is the link to Ken Schwaber's book.
