About A Scrum Book: The Spirit Of The Game
Product Description Gain insights and depth of rationale into Scrum from many highly respected world authorities, including one of its founders, who lead you through the deep foundations of Scrum's structure and practice. Enhance and customize your Scrum practice with ninety-four organizational building blocks, called patterns, that you can freely and flexibly choose from to fit your needs. Understand and appreciate the history of Scrum and the role it plays in solving common problems in product development. Building a successful product usually involves teams of people, and many choose the Scrum approach to aid in creating products that deliver the highest possible value. Implementing Scrum gives teams a collection of powerful ideas they can assemble to fit their needs and meet their goals. The ninety-four patterns contained within are elaborated nuggets of insight into Scrum's building blocks, how they work, and how to use them. They offer novices a roadmap for starting from scratch, yet they help intermediate practitioners fine-tune or fortify their Scrum implementations. Experienced practitioners can use the patterns and supporting explanations to get a better understanding of how the parts of Scrum complement each other to solve common problems in product development. The patterns are written in the well-known Alexandrian form, whose roots in architecture and design have enjoyed broad application in the software world. The form organizes each pattern so you can navigate directly to organizational design tradeoffs or jump to the solution or rationale that makes the solution work. The patterns flow together naturally through the context sections at their beginning and end. Learn everything you need to know to master and implement Scrum one step at a time - the agile way. Review There's a lot of wisdom in this book that is applicable and useful outside of a Scrum context. The patterns are pragmatic, engaging, and very well executed -- a true joy to read. Adam Thornhill, Author of Software Design X-Rays and Your Code As A Crime Scene. A Scrum Book: The Spirit of the Game is a valuable, well-organized resource whether for team members in the early days of their Scrum journey, for journeymen Scrum Masters looking to add techniques and approaches to their toolkit as they unlock more complex improvement efforts, or for master coaches looking for a well-structured body of knowledge into which to integrate and evolve their own patterns. Practices, tools, and principles (the what) are surfaced for us as we go about our daily work, and Sutherland, Coplien, et al. lay bare the philosophy, thinking, and reasoning (the why) to facilitate our learning. Mark Gillet, Managing Director at Silver Lake, former COO at Skype and CVP at Microsoft. Within minutes of opening A Scrum Book: The Spirit of the Game , I implemented my first Scrum pattern and raised the level of my team's software game. I've dabbled in Scrum practices for years, but after reading this book, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the nuances behind those practices and how they work in concert to create an elegant whole. This book is a must read for anyone who works on a team to build software. Michael Keeling, author of Design It! This is a book for all Scrum practitioners, veterans as well as newbies. Starting with the first pattern (The Spirit of the Game) and continuing through out the book, it's about people. You will be able to use the book and its patterns as a source of inspiration when you create your way of working according to Scrum. The book and its patterns cover the what of Scrum as well as its whys. There is no need to wait. Get it! Read it! Use it! Improve! Arne Åhlander, Certified Scrum Trainer and CEO, Aqquirite AB.
