Scrum is the revolutionary approach to project management and team-building that is transforming the way businesses operate. Already adopted by world-leading organisations including Google, Amazon and the FBI, it has been proven to slash costs and working hours while simultaneously delivering staggering productivity increases of as much as 400-800%!

What makes this possible? The fact that Scrum is based on the way peoplereallywork, rather than how theythinkthey work. Taking an incremental approach, Scrum reduces team sizes and breaks down projects into short-term goals, allowing constant assessment of progress and an agile, adaptive approach to problem-solving. The improvements in speed and quality of work can be seen almost immediately.

For the first time ever, Scrum co-creator Jeff Sutherland explains how it can be applied universally — information no organisation can afford to be without.

Self-aggrandazing bullshit, with some gems thrown in.

Hard to even read this garbage, but there are some interesting take-aways, but I wouldn't really recommend this as gospel, as it makes unsubstantiated claims, implies stuff that are easily refuted. See it more as a way to get some thoughts to think about and evolve yourself.
