About Fixing Your Scrum: Practical Solutions To Common
Product Description Broken Scrum practices limit your organization's ability to take full advantage of the agility Scrum should bring: The development team isn't cross-functional or self-organizing, the product owner doesn't get value for their investment, and stakeholders and customers are left wondering when something--anything--will get delivered. Learn how experienced Scrum masters balance the demands of these three levels of servant leadership, while removing organizational impediments and helping Scrum teams deliver real-world value. Discover how to visualize your work, resolve impediments, and empower your teams to self-organize and deliver using advanced coaching and facilitation techniques that honor and support the Scrum values and agile principles. A Scrum Master needs to know when their team is in trouble and understand how to help them get back on the path to delivery. Become a better Scrum master so you can find the problems holding your teams back. Has your Daily Scrum turned in to a meeting? Does your team struggle with creating user stories? Are stakeholders disengaged during Sprint Review? These issues are common. Learn to use empiricism as your guide and help your teams create great products. Scrum is so much more than a checklist of practices to follow, yet that's exactly how many organizations practice it. Bring life back to your Scrum events by using advanced facilitation techniques to leverage the full intelligence of your team. Improve your retrospectives with new formats and exercises. Ask powerful questions that spark introspection and improvement. Get support and buy-in from management. Use Scrum as a competitive advantage for your organization. Create a definition of done that improves quality and fix failing sprints. Take the next step on your journey as a Scrum master. Transform your Scrum practices to help your teams enjoy their work again as they deliver high quality products that bring value to the world. What You Need: A moderate level of experience using the Scrum Framework. Review Ken Schwaber, the co-creator of Scrum, often says that Scrum takes a moment to understand and a lifetime to master. Scrum isn't hard to understand, but applying it is difficult because the environments in which Scrum plays are complex. People, organizations, business problems, suppliers, predefined processes, and behavioral norms all seem to work against this simple framework. In this book, Todd and Ryan provide practical remedies to these problems. They focus on ways that you can make your use of Scrum better, not because Scrum is important, but because--when applied well--Scrum can help you change the world. Scrum on! - Dave West CEO, Scrum.org This book is a friendly and conversational partner for today's Scrum Master. It provides real-world solutions to real-world problems that many teams face in pursuit of being truly self-organized and cross-functional. Ryan and Todd have identified some of the most common anti-patterns that result in bad experiences and less-than-optimal outcomes with Scrum-and encourage teams to face them with practical tools and humor. - Melissa Boggs Chief ScrumMaster, Scrum Alliance If everyone would follow Ryan and Todd's vision of what a Scrum master should be, then Scrum (with Kanban, of course) would be near perfect! - Daniel Vacanti CEO, Actionable Agile As an Agile coach, I constantly encounter organizations that are doing Scrum poorly and missing out on the great results and impact that Scrum can have. Ryan and Todd's book has become my go-to initial action for these organizations --I hand them the book and tell them to read it and apply its simple yet powerful advice. It does a masterful job of helping teams fix their Scrum. Now I just hope it doesn't impact my coaching practice too much! - Bob Galen Author and Agile Coach, Vaco This book is an essential read for any Scrum team that wants to deliver value frequently and enjoy doing it.
