Scrum for Teams ― A Guide by Practical Example

This book is about getting it right with a collection of Scrum practices and doing so by offering an opportunity to learn by example. Scrum is not done by project leaders or managers, but really by the teams - to succeed in an organisation, the teams must do Scrum well. If the teams do Scrum well, the project leaders and managers, and the whole organisation, will benefit from it.Scrum helps teams self-organize, which fits in remarkably well with developers, who usually don’t like to be micro-managed. At the same time, Scrum scales: self-organized teams can work together well, and one manager doesn’t have to manage all the people.The lessons from this book help Scrum teams develop into autonomous, proud and independent teams. Often teams fail to become powerful enough to change the organization, so they cannot perform to their full potential. A good team can lead the stakeholders into trusting them. They will then make plans based on the team’s release planning instead of making roadmaps out of thin air, and thus make the organization much more predictable.
