____________________________ Scrum is the reason that Amazon can launch a new feature on its
website every day. It's how the FBI finally created a massive terrorist-tracking database. It
has revolutionised productivity and team-building in industries as varied as the military and
healthcare in major hospitals. The reason for the rapid embrace of Scrum across so many
disciplines is simple: organisations that implement the Scrum method typically double
productivity and quality - and sometimes the increase can be as much as twelve-fold. Now in
this new 10th Anniversary edition JJ and Jeff Sutherland take the project management system
that everyone continues to talk about even further sharing brand new case studies and
anecdotes from how John Deere used Scrum to increase their supply chain during the pandemic
despite nationwide shutdowns to how the UK ministry of defence is using Scrum across their
entire military in response to emerging threats like Russia and China and how agile and scrum
teams are collaborating with AI to be more effective than both humans or robots alone. A lot
has changed in the last ten years but the good news is that the Scrum framework is as
adaptable as it is effective. Filled with actionable tips on how to build teams set goals and
monitor progress it also includes brand-new research on the psychology of how we work and stay
motivated. Scrum is the book every working professional and business leader needs.
__________________________ 'Engaging persuasive and extremely practical . . . Scrum
provides a simple framework for solving what seem like intractable and complicated work
problems. Amazingly this book will not only make your life at work and home easier but also
better and happier.' - SHAWN ACHOR New York Times bestselling author of BEFORE HAPPINESS and
THE HAPPINESS ADVANTAGE 'If there was a Nobel Prize for management and if there was any
justice in the world I believe that the prize would be awarded . . . to the invention of
Scrum.' Forbes ' Scrum is mandatory reading for any leader whether they're leading troops on
the battlefield or in the marketplace. The challenges of today's world don't permit the luxury
of slow inefficient work. Success requires tremendous speed enormous productivity and an
unwavering commitment to achieving results. In other words success requires Scrum .' - U.S.
General BARRY McCAFFREY 'Jeff Sutherland is the master of creating high-performing teams. The
subtitle of this book understates Scrum's impact. If you don't get three times the results in
one-third the time you aren't doing it right!' - SCOTT MAXWELL Founder & Senior Managing
Director OpenView Venture Partners 'This deceptively simple system is the most powerful way
I've seen to improve the effectiveness of any team. I started using it with my business and
family halfway through reading the book. - LEO BABAUTA creator of ZEN HABITS '[Scrum]
dramatically increases productivity while reducing employees' frustrations with the typical
corporate nonsense. This book is the best description I've seen of how this process can work
across many industries. Senior leaders should not just read the book - they should do what
Sutherland recommends.' - PROFESSOR JEFFREY PFEFFER Stanford Business School co-author of THE
