Publisher's Summary

The definitive account of the Scrum methodology from its cocreator and the CEO of Scrum, Inc., Jeff Sutherland.

Scrum is the revolutionary approach to project management and team building that has helped to transform everything from software companies to the US military to health care in major American hospitals. In this major new book, its originator, Jeff Sutherland, explains precisely and step by step how it operates - and how it can be made to work for anyone, anywhere.

Take the FBI's attempt to digitize its records, for example. As with so many software projects, the first attempt failed, having taken four years and cost over $400 million. Then the FBI turned to Scrum and, just over a year later, unveiled a functioning system that cost less than a tenth of the first project and employed a tenth of the staff.

And it's not just grand projects that Scrum can help with. Every organisation, whatever its size, constantly has to come to grips with delivering a product or service on time and on budget. Scrum shows you how. It explains how to define precisely what it is that you are seeking to achieve, how to set up the team to achieve it, and how to monitor progress until the project is successfully completed.

Filled with practical examples drawn from all types of organisations, it will make you rethink the fundamentals of successful management - and show you how to get things done however everyday or ambitious, however small or large your organisation.

Absolute read for anyone starting with Scrum

Scrum is so simple yet so elusive! if you understand the principles (why) the what and how will be a tad easier. read on to know the why.

The Best Source to learn scrum

I’ve gone through several workshops, tutorials, hired consultants and practiced scrum.

But still encountered several problems. I Felt something was missing in this methodology.

until i referred this book and understood the origins and the why of scrum. And minute /subtle hints given by the author.

i realised my understanding was defective and not the process.

This book was with me for years. But i didn’t read it until today.

My advice: before referring anything else (blogs, consultants , workshops) read this book.
