Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This book will teach you all the fundamental concepts of the Agile Scrum Framework and will equip you to build complex products that deliver high business value to your customers.With the Agile Scrum Framework, you will be able to stay ahead of your competition, respond quickly to changing market conditions or emerging technologies, deliver incremental business value at a sustainable pace, create a customer-first approach, and build self-organizing teams.
Being an Agile coach, I mentor both product and engineering teams. When new people onboard, they seldom have an understanding of this framework. Often, people play different roles prescribed by the framework but struggle to understand their responsibilities. Even enterprise leaders find it challenging to embrace Agile values and principles. This inspired me to write this book in a simple, easy-to-understand language for anyone who needs to learn Scrum or those who need a reference guide at work.
I have organized the chapters in this book very carefully such that anyone with no prior knowledge on this framework can understand what it means and quickly apply the concepts at work. 
If you are looking to deliver maximum business value to your customers, learn the Agile Scrum Framework with this book today!

    There is a lot packed into this compact guide. It will be useful for those who are beginners to the concepts as well as a great way or anyone familiar with SCRUM and agile methodology to brush up or organize their plan. It goes over all of the key concepts and when to use them. There are handy summaries and useful exercises at the end of each chapter as well as diagrams and charts that make it easy to understand.. The language used is clear and concise. A very good guide.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Most readable, accessible, compact, and complete Scrum book I've seen
    Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2017
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    A very good book. Captures the whole extent of Scrum in a very complete, detailed, yet readable package. Even so, it manages a convenient, small size (two hours reading), and the organization easily lends itself to quick brush-ups. Covers the whole project life cycle, including customizations like Kanban.

    Highly recommended for anyone learning Scrum while trying to keep up with an experienced team. I was particularly pleased with the attention given to such decision points as When (and when not) to use Scrum.

    As a slight down side: some of the dangers of naive Scrum are not called out specifically. For example, first-time teams often give the same person both the role of Scrum Master and Product Owner--which makes it a bit more like familiar models. But this separation is crucial to preserving the integrity of the process, which is the only way you can ever get to predictable, repeatable commitments and deliveries.

    The book gives a very comprehensive overview of SCRUM and the agile methodology. The book covers many, many aspects from sprint to user stories including technical debt. I especially liked the entrepreneur example with web development project. The charts and diagrams are very well done. Excellent book.

    As a Business Lead I was unprepared for the company’s adoption of Agile over Waterfall. I was stuck in old but proven development method. I sat in a few CA seminars and webcast but still could not connect the dots. This beautifully outlined and practical book brought me to the place of understanding. I read it twice. I ordered copies for my team. Thank you.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Instant SCRUM overview
    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2018
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is a very simple book, in quite large type that essentially is for personal or management exposure to SCRUM methodology. It pretty heavily promotes the SCRUM process (sort of a duh), but kind of glosses over other development methods as to why SCRUM is "better." Also, sort of a dug, it is about SCRUM. They base the superioirty of SCRUM against a classic Waterfall design to show its "superiority." However, it really is a decent quick intro to the world of SCRUm and the players involved. You are not going to be a SCRUM Master reading this book, but it will give you the basic concepts and how it should work in the perfect world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Use it as a handbook!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    This book serves as a detailed guide to Scrum practices, starts off by comparing scrum to the traditional waterfall approach and then explains why there is a need and talks about the key concepts, how each role, each event, and each artifact is developed and what are the right practices to follow. It can bring anyone up to speed pretty quickly to agile methodology in general.

    It mentions that the scrum master is a change agent and in this book Aditi also has kind of told us that the scrum is more like a mindset than a process so there can always be improvements resulting from the retrospectives or other discussions.

    The best part about the book for me is the Technical Debt portion of it. It really shows how much of an experience and thought has been put in writing that section in particular and how and in what ways a ‘Technical Debt’ can occur and what are our ways around it too.

    I would recommend everyone who wants to get familiar with Scrum & Agile or anyone who wants to keep agile practices and methodologies handy to buy this book.
