An okay book on scrum. But it felt long. And in the end reading it was a slog. It isn't really a reference book, but I'm guessing it will work as a reference book. And that's probably it's problem - it just doesn't read well as a book. My guess is that if you just want to explain to someone the responsibilities of a Product Owner or Scrum Master it will work just fine. Or most any other detail. So useful if not enjoyable. 3.5 of 5.

I've read this book along migrating to scrum on the business and can not say how much it helped me get there. There are not much difference about order of the chapters and every time I read a chapter, according to my experience found new things to learn.
If you plan to migrate to scrum, try the last chapter first ;)

I'm a Certified Scrum Master (CSM), but I learned 200% about Scrum after reading this book. I'm a people manager and this book gave valuable insights about approaching scrum from a people leadership perspective. I really liked Kenneth's writing style providing many real-world examples. After reading this book, I realized the importance of having Sprint Review and Sprint Planning meetings. This book made me realized that Scrum is not just about daily stand-ups and sticky notes. I highly recommend...more

Well, it's more than the 'essentials'. While it covers the basis, it also cover the 'admitted practices' and even more. The content of the book is really strong and the author have a proven mastery in each of then.
However, the way Scrum is covered here makes it a 'Shu level' or 'Ha level', while Scrum by essence is 'Ri level', an unfortunate way to misdirect the practitioner. But you are well aware of it: have fun, it's a great content !

It is an interesting but way too filled with unnecessary content. I mean that the author uses so much words to describe something so simple that I feel like he does it just to fill the pages. That's why it took me so much team to go through it all. Other than that, it has some great practical examples, a lot of images describing the whole idea behind Scrum and Agile. I liked it, but it could be way shorter.
To paraphrase the good reverend from COMING TO AMERICA, 'If lovin' software development is wrong....I don't wanna be right.'
The author has written a truly easy to read and interesting text on Scrum. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn this style of iterative development. I'll be using this as a go to reference for a long time to come. Thanks and kudos, Mr. Rubin!

I expected an excellent framework for agile product development (and got it), yet this book goes farther... it provides methods/attributes of leadership that are critical to Scrum success, are highly productive and leverage knowledge of the development team. It's great for managers and anyone with vested interest in getting results from highly creative teams.

I give this book high marks because it is indeed a good guide to Scrum. That being said, I would say it's pretty text bookish, so I started to skim it about 1/3 of the way through, rather than read word for word. Still good info, since the company I just started working for uses Scrum principles for software development. I'll definitely go back to it if I need to utilize the processes in my role.

I had been warned that this book was very 'hand-wavy', which I understood as it making many assertions without solid proof. In a way this is true, as human processes are always notably difficult to quantify and measure, at least in my experience.
However, the book does do a good job of explaining the agile framework that is Scrum. The author uses anecdotal experience to compare traditional waterfall-style development processes with it, and why Scrum comes out on top. The arguments are not based o...more

An excellent introduction and a thorough overview of Scrum, the most popular Agile approach to software and product development. Like other Agile approaches, Scrum has you (and your team) work in short 2 or 3 week 'sprints' gathering immediate feedback and adapting development efforts quickly rather than working from detailed, predictive, up-front project plans. Rubin does a great job explaining every role, describing every process, and articulating every little nuance that goes along with opera...more

This became a top choice to read in a book club format with my team. We wanted to be better aligned with scrum best practices.
It is an excellent reference book - it introduces helpful concepts and diagrams that gave us the ability to reflect on our team's agile process. Some of these insights were communicated upstream to the leads and they are driving change to the agile process (Example: how we review sprints company wide)

I read this book to understand how Scrum works and to get concrete example of how one can implement an Agile process. It didn't disappoint. The book covers each concept, step by step, in a logical order so every idea builds from those that came before it. One of the best parts is that or covers general business practices that are often absent from the modern workplace:
- How to account for the costs and benefits that determine if a project should be abandoned
- Consequences of technical debt

The book explores and explains in detail the essential parts of Scrum:
- Agile principles: 3 pillars (Inspection, Adaptation and Transparency), Less up-front more just-in-time, focus on idle work rather than idle worker, fast feedback workflow
- Roles and their Responsibilities: Product Owner, Scrum Master, Developer and Manager (not an official Scrum role, but important in many organizations)
- Artifacts and Processes: Product Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint planning, burndown chart, documentation.....more

A really good book which leads you to the essential parts of scrum (haha).
Being more serious the best thing in the book is that it is really understandable. As agile (and scrum) is made on logic and using plain English to describe complex solutions too, this book also does the same: it is not full of professional not-understandable words and expressions but still manages to explain everything.

This book really surprised me. It delivers more than 'the essentials' it advertises. The chapters are well organized and cover every aspect of the Scrum process with clarity and objectiveness. The language is fluid, and besides its 400+ pages, it's never a boring reading. The whole Scrum process is described with practical examples, which gets you right into the day-by-day routine of an agile team.

Did I read a whole book on running Scrum? Yes, yes I did. This book has a lot of in-depth coverage of Scrum and how to apply it. I honestly feel like it is a book every person at every company I worked at read as Scrum and Agile planning have largely transformed into this big thing with lots of rules like waterfall with Manager fiefdoms. In essence Scrum is simple with few rules and can be adapted to each team.

Great book
Even thought it is not based on the lastest versions of Scrum Guide the book has a great level of details and worth reading it. I'm preparing for the PSM certification so I found it very useful specially because I'm new to Scrum..

Excellent book on the basics of scrum. Concise and easy to understand. The only downside is that most of the examples are of new product launches. I would have like to see more information on how to handle mature products and teams with multiple product managers.

Good guide to first-timers
This book can act as a reference to any team that wants to adopt Scrum. It describes in great detail every ceremony, role, and tasks.

A good overall guide to the various aspects of Scrum.
Almost the same ideas as in the “Agile stories” book, only that this is way more detailed... worth reading
Well written and easy to read. I highly recommend for those learning or looking to implement an agile methodology in software development.

I think iT is a good start to get more familiar with the scrum/agile methodology. It describes a lot of common problems and explains truly the essence.
