The basics of being a ScrumMaster are fairly straightforward: At face value, all a ScrumMaster needs to do is facilitate the Scrum process and remove impediments. But being a great ScrumMaster, one who truly embodies the principles of servant-leadership and helps nurture a high-performing team, is much harder and more elusive.

One day, she is approached by a ragtag bunch of misfits who say they want to overthrow the existing order, to liberate developers, to bring joy back to technology work.

Increase Your effectiveness on Social Media
- By Todd on 2022-04-19
Written by: Brendan Kane
Publisher's Summary
By the man who helped invent the red-hot management process known as "Scrum", Scrum unveils what is wrong with the way we currently do work, and how a simple set of principles, applied in exactly the right sequence, can accelerate productivity and quality as much as 1,200 percent.
Scrum (which gets its name from the formation in rugby in which the whole team locks its arms to gain control of the ball) is the reason that Amazon can launch a new feature on its website every day. It's why the Red River Army Depot in Texas was able to roll out armored Humvees 39 times faster than before. It's how the FBI finally created a massive terrorist-tracking database.
The reason for the rapid embrace of Scrum across so many disciplines is simple: organizations that implement Scrum typically double productivity and quality—and sometimes the increase can be as much as 12-fold. But the promise of Scrum as a project management tool extends far beyond business. Much as Atul Gawande did in The Checklist Manifesto, Sutherland shows how this unique approach to problem solving and team optimization has nearly universal application.
At bottom, Scrum is about coming together with your team, looking at what you're doing, and course correcting. It may be the key to solving some of this era's most intractable problems.
Please note: The author has intentionally omitted three consecutive pages of the 256-page print edition from this audiobook.
What the critics say
“Full of engaging stories and real-world examples. The project management method known as Scrum may be the most widely deployed productivity tool among high-tech companies. On a mission to put this tool into the hands of the broader business world for the first time, Jeff Sutherland succeeds brilliantly.”—Eric Ries, New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup
“Engaging, persuasive and extremely practical . . . Scrum provides a simple framework for solving what seem like intractable and complicated work problems. It’s hard to make forward progress when you can’t see your impediments clearly. Sutherland offers a lens to remedy that. 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
“Jeff Sutherland has written the essence of Scrum for the masses. This book elevates Scrum from a fix-it tool to a way of life.”—Hirotaka Takeuchi, Professor of Management Practice, Harvard Business School

A life-changing book hampered by an unhappy narrator
Don’t get me wrong - this is a book that has the potential to change the world.
You should read it, and we should all start doing agile Scrum. It is my goal to do so!
Listening to this book back-to-back with Turn the Ship Around by L David Marquette, I was very disappointed that Audible allowed J.J. Sutherland to narrate this amazing book that he and his dad wrote together.
For your retrospective guys- I think J.J.’s experience of war made him come across as a “hurried jerk.” I wish there was a nicer way to say that, because I’m sure J.J.’s tone fit perfectly for a war correspondent, and he’s probably an amazing guy in person- it just didn’t come across in the reading of this book.
I hope they get someone like Marquette - who conveys an energized and positive tone- to read the next edition.
Anyway, as I said to begin with- you should definitely pick up a physical copy of this book and get inspired about going agile with Scrum.
I’ve already started implementing it!
Thank you for writing this awesome book J.J. and Jeff!
