will recommend it for reading. Has lots of examples of implementation and explains scrum from every side and for every player. ( )

Nice examples of Scrum applied to industry.

Cases of positive and negative results also show what *NOT* to do in your projects.

I would recommend this to everyone participating in a software development project, regardless of its role. ( )

A great introduction to the theory of Scrum illustrated in many use cases with companies with very generic names. The "Lessons Learned" sections of each chapter are great, but the multi-page case study that leads up to them is often a dull look into a specific company. Overall a very good read, and it's definitely gotten me excited about Scrum again as I feel I understand it much better now. ( )

Excellent examples. This book finally left me wanting to know more about Scrum techniques instead of wondering when the author was bringing out the Snake Oil for sale.
After reading this book I want to take a course in Scrum, hopefully where I can ask how to overcome the obstacles that existed in my previous jobs.
This book also made me realize how important getting the right stories is, and that I may need to become a Scrum Master to make sure I get stories that can be done in a month. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 073561993X, Paperback)

Apply the principles of Scrum, one of the most popular agile programming methods, to software project management—and focus your team on delivering real business value. Author Ken Schwaber, a leader in the agile process movement and a co-creator of Scrum, brings his vast expertise to helping you guide the product and software development process more effectively and efficiently. Help eliminate the ambiguity into which so many software projects are borne, where vision and planning documents are essentially thrown over the wall to developers. This high-level reference describes how to use Scrum to manage complex technology projects in detail, combining expert insights with examples and case studies based on Scrum. Emphasizing practice over theory, this book explores every aspect of using Scrum, focusing on driving projects for maximum return on investment.
