Mike Griffith’s book is one of the best resources and books I’ve read so far related to Agile. It does explain everything in simple details and it is a very comprehensive book. However, there is a difference between what the new Scrum Guide mentions and what ACP Exam Prep Book does with regards to the Scrum Ceremonies:

1- Definition of Sprint: In scaled scrum or Nexus, Product Backlog Refinement is an official event but not in scrum. Mike's books however mention this as an activity.

2- Daily Scrum: It is not a must to ask those 3 questions as per scrum guide but it is recommended while ACP Exam Prep mentions that the scope is limited to answering those 3 questions.

3- Scrum of Scrums is not a scrum terminology and when there are multiple teams, you go to Nexus (Scaled Scrum).

4- All events are time boxed but this is not mentioned in ACP Exam Prep.

5- Sprint Reterospectives is for the whole scrum team as oer the scrum guide but the ACP Exam Prep mentions that this is primarily for the Development Team.

In a way it is very contradicting so any thought as to why there is a difference in Items 1, 2 & 5 ?
