Elements of Scrum

The book The Elements of Scrum has an international following and a reputation for being the only software development book that reads like a page-turner. Written by Chris Sims, one of the top scrum trainers in the field and a pioneer in experiential learning, and Hillary Louise Johnson, a business journalist and novelist, it explains in lively storytelling and vividly told examples how scrum works, why traditional methodologies don't work at all, and how scrum applies to the cultural history of the software industry. Through vivid storytelling and real-world examples not just from his own consulting experiences but from the experiences of the founders of scrum themselves, Chris Sims breaks down the Agile Manifesto into principles and practices to get you inside their heads so you will have a thorough grounding in theory and know their philosophies on agile.
