For those who believe that there must be a more agile and efficient way for people to get things done here is a brilliantly discursive thoughtprovoking book about the leadership and 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 groundbreaking. It already drives most of the worlds top technology companies. And now its starting to spread to every domain where leaders wrestle with complex projects. If youve 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 theres 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 with agility and efficiency. 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 Pointeducated 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 youll journey to Scrums front lines where Jeffs 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 hour100 mile per gallon car helping NPR report fastmoving 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.
