Scrum Fieldbook : A Master Class on Accelerating Performance, Getting Results, and Defining the Future

Based on years of work in the field with scores of companies like Bosch, 3M, Schlumberger, and Rio Tinto, The Scrum Fieldbook delivers a hands on, practical approach for rapidly delivering value for companies and organizations. Scrum is the secret weapon behind some of today's most successful companies. Firms like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple use Scrum to drive incredibly fast innovation, a laser focus on customers, continuous improvement, and decrease decision times in order to reshape the world. Scrum is the most used Agile framework. In recent years, its use has exploded across the corporate world far beyond its software and technology roots. J.J. Sutherland and the team at Scrum Inc. have dramatically improved performance at global banks, utilities, medical device manufacturers, mining giants, and firms on the cutting edge of genetic science. Scrum has helped companies large and small thrive in the age of disruption. In J.J.'s first book, the national bestseller Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time, co-authored with his father Jeff, the co-creator of Scrum, he laid out the Scrum framework used by almost all of today's leading technology companies. In The Scrum Fieldbook, he draws on his firm's extensive experience in the field to take leaders, managers, and employees deeper into the specific challenges and new opportunities organizations face in an Agile transformation. He shows how the Scrum framework can be successfully applied to any project in any industry, from automobile manufacturers in the US and Europe, to nonprofits in Africa, from home renovation contractors in Minnesota to gas exploration companies in South America, from building fighter planes in Sweden to accelerating US Navy special forces teams in regions of the world we can't mention.
