 Great Book! April 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm the resident 'Scrum Lord' at my company and I purchased this book early on in my 'Scrum' travels. It's been a handy quick read resource for our entire company. We bought a 1/2 dozen to pass around when we got new hires so they could read up a bit before they went to our in-house training in Scrum/Agile. For folks with just a little time, we suggested they read chapters 2 and 3 to get the gist of it. If they had more time...we suggested the read the whole book. Our in house training was inspired by some of the concepts used in this book. Its a great one! All of my 'loaner copies' are checked out somewhere here at work!

 Managment wrapper for XP February 1, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ken Schwaber provides a hands-on and succinct introduction to the Scrum philosophy - albeit, it is a little idealistic at times. Where XP focuses on enhancing the quality of the software, Scrum acts as a management wrapper for streamlining the overall process.
Beginning with the history, you'll learn about the key positions, team interaction and structure, the timelines, and the tools involved in the process. This is, arguably, the de facto source of information on Scrum, and it is well worth the time given the relatively modest size of the book. This is a great book to pass around the office, so order a few copies, at least!
Patterns of Behavior for Developers November 30, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Helping the people who DO the work understand the value of simplicity. Take in context of the other Schwaber books, this book is intended to lead a developer/technologist down the path of evolving a lens of simplicity. Even greater value can be applied should one synthesize the data from Mike Cohn's two books, as well as, Weinberg and McBreen. Evolving something useful is not a book, degree or company reputation ... rather it is artful, experienced, pragmatic and thoughtful, context-driven decisioning with the sole purpose of making a customer smile.

This book will give you the basics of the what, why, how, and when for scrum. Make sure to pick up ken's other books for more on scrum, particularly 'the enterprise and scrum' for implementing scrum in a larger organization.
