Proven, 100% Practical Guidance for Making Scrum and Agile Work in
Any Organization This is the definitive, realistic, actionable
guide to starting fast with Scrum and agile-and then succeeding
over the long haul. Leading agile consultant and practitioner Mike
Cohn presents detailed recommendations, powerful tips, and
real-world case studies drawn from his unparalleled experience
helping hundreds of software organizations make Scrum and agile
work. "Succeeding with Agile" is for pragmatic software
professionals who want real answers to the most difficult
challenges they face in implementing Scrum. Cohn covers every facet
of the transition: getting started, helping individuals transition
to new roles, structuring teams, scaling up, working with a
distributed team, and finally, implementing effective metrics and
continuous improvement. Throughout, Cohn presents "Things to Try
Now" sections based on his most successful advice. Complementary
"Objection" sections reproduce typical conversations with those
resisting change and offer practical guidance for addressing their
concerns. Coverage includes
- Practical ways to get started immediately-and "get good"
"fast"
- Overcoming individual resistance to the changes Scrum
requires
- Staffing Scrum projects and building effective teams
- Establishing "improvement communities" of people who are
passionate about driving change

with
- Leading self-organizing teams
- Making the most of Scrum sprints, planning, and quality
techniques
- Scaling Scrum to distributed, multiteam projects
- Using Scrum on projects with complex sequential processes or
challenging compliance and governance requirements
- Understanding Scrum's impact on HR, facilities, and project
management
Whether you've completed a few sprints or multiple agile projects
and whatever your role-manager, developer, coach, ScrumMaster,
product owner, analyst, team lead, or project lead-this book will
help you succeed with your very next project. Then, it will help
you go much further: "It will help you transform your entire
