We live in a world that is broken. For those who believe that there
"must "be a more efficient way for people to get things done, here
from Scrum pioneer Jeff Sutherland is a brilliantly discursive,
thought-provoking book about the management process that is
changing the way we live.
In the future, historians may look back on human progress and draw
a sharp line designating ""before "Scrum" and ""after" Scrum."
Scrum is "that" ground-breaking. It already drives most of the
world's top technology companies. And now it's starting to spread
to every domain where people wrestle with complex projects.
If you've ever been startled by how fast the world is changing,
Scrum is one of the reasons why. Productivity gains of as much as
1200% have been recorded, and there's no more lucid - or
"compelling" - explainer of Scrum and its bright promise than Jeff
Sutherland, the man who put together the first Scrum team more than
twenty years ago.
The thorny problem Jeff began tackling back then boils down to
this: people are spectacularly bad at doing things quickly and
efficiently. Best laid plans go up in smoke. Teams often work at
cross purposes to each other. And when the pressure rises,
unhappiness soars. Drawing on his experience as a West
Point-educated fighter pilot, biometrics expert, early innovator of
ATM technology, and V.P. of engineering or CTO at eleven different
technology companies, Jeff began challenging those dysfunctional
realities, looking for solutions that would have global impact.
In this book you'll journey to Scrum's front lines where Jeff's
system of deep accountability, team interaction, and constant
iterative improvement is, among other feats, bringing the FBI into
the 21st century, perfecting the design of an affordable 140 mile
per hour/100 mile per gallon car, helping NPR report fast-moving
action in the Middle East, changing the way pharmacists interact
with patients, reducing poverty in the Third World, and even
helping people plan their weddings and accomplish weekend chores.
Woven with insights from martial arts, judicial decision making,
advanced aerial combat, robotics, and many other disciplines,
"Scrum "is consistently riveting. But the most important reason to
read this book is that it may just help you achieve what others
consider unachievable - whether it be inventing a trailblazing
technology, devising a new system of education, pioneering a way to
feed the hungry, or, closer to home, a building a foundation for
your family to thrive and prosper.
