The Agile and Scrum software development method allows creation of the game–changing software you need to grow your business - in 30 days or less. Projects that use it are three times more successful than those that don′t, and the productivity gain versus traditional “waterfall” methods has been over 100 percent on many projects. For the business manager, the entrepreneur, or IT manager, Software in 30 Days explains how this unorthodox process works, how to get started, and how to succeed. Learn powerful concepts such as the “art of the possible,” “bottom–up intelligence,” and why it′s good to fail early. With simple but profound shifts in thinking, you will be able to control risk, manage projects, and deliver your best work possible, faster and cheaper than ever before.

The book seems to rely on the power of repetition, the simple process and the cadence a lot. The chapters are relatively short, most use a real life example to show how the scrum process changes not only the projects, but also the organisation around it to deliver more value in less or equal amounts of time. The second half of the book is made up of a n …more flag 2 likes · Like · comment · see review Aug 12, 2012 Vedran Novoselac rated it liked it Shelves: dev-read Overly repetitive book with very little technical content. Same topics are discussed throughout the whole book over and over again with different phrasing. I guess this book is intended for upper management or something, but even they can understand scarce formalities of scrum without so many occurrences of the same idea. Authors were probably trying to expose readers to the rules of scrum from many different perspectives, but I find their style dull and superfluous. flag 2 likes · Like · comment · see review Jan 23, 2016 Muhammad Khan rated it it was amazing Shelves: agile-methodology, scrum, shelfari-favorites, software-development, software-project-management This book provides a good overview of Scrum targeted to CXOs and senior managers considering adopting, or transitioning to Agile. The essential matters and challenges are laid bare, in a clear and straight-forward manner, telling it like it is. I found the references to real-world projects, and latest project history data very useful in reinforcing the message that there is indeed value in moving to Scrum. Having said that, Schwaber & Sutherland hide nothing and make it clear that Scrum might …more flag 1 like · Like · comment · see review Oct 05, 2012 Jason rated it it was amazing Clearly lays out the case for an Agile (specifically Scrum) approach to product development.

If you already have strong background in Scrum/Agile, you might use some of the stories/examples (and to some extends, more arguments) from this book to “sell” to “others” (either subordinates, or other departments, sales, marketing, etc.) if there are resistances to change. If you don’t, you might not learn much “how” from this book, but at least some of the “what”; for the “how”, it’s much better if you read other agile “bibles” …more flag Like · 1 comment · see review Dec 30, 2017 Vishal Prasad rated it it was amazing · review of another edition Great read and to the point Questions about who’s a scrum master and what’s their job. And similar questions for other scrum roles. This book clarifies such questions with anecdotes and real examples of how efficient managers execute scrum in different development and organizational transformation. You can see the experience of the authors poured very thoughtfully in this book. It’s a great read and a must for every srum and agile software development enthusiast. flag Like · comment · see review Aug 03, 2018 Philip rated it it was amazing · review of another edition Shelves: software A very interesting book. Though it’s written for managers, it also delivers a profounder understanding of Scrum, and what one needs to keep in mind when using and scaling it. it was a very good read and extremely recommendable for anyone interested to abandon the old ways of software development management and welcome the joys of common sense and sensible methodology. flag Like · comment · see review Apr 12, 2018 Vladislav Gomzyakov rated it liked it Shelves: business A good overview of scrum and what it takes to successfully utilize it. It covers important general principles and common challenges. It did have a more managerial focus with its content on adopting and scaling scrum in big organizations. I would be interested in reading more about specific case studies and how scrum activities were conducted there, the way artifacts were created/managed, etc. flag Like · comment · see review Dec 27, 2018 Charlie Meneses rated it really liked it Is a good book if you want to learn a little bit more about the Scrum framework.

It’s geared towards executives or decision makers who want more information & learn about its benefits. So, it’s not particularly prescriptive or in-depth. I found it a little on the light side, but the information is well laid out with a fair number of case studies, so it doesn’t get tedious.

But I have to admit that it is a great selling booking. Selling Scrum. But if you really want to go in-depth into the workings of Scrum you better find a trainer or coach to help you along. I recommend this book to the managers I work with. At least you should have read this book before you can argue with me that Scrum is not something that will work in your company. flag Like · comment · see review Oct 11, 2015 Jeanne Boyarsky rated it liked it Shelves: did-not-finish The book was fine. I didn’t realize that it was meant for CEO’s/senior managers. It was meant for people who are skeptical of Scrum and a sales pitch on why to use it. There were lots of case studies. I was bored because it was too high level and I’m already doing Scrum. The appendixes seem useful - glossary of words, the Scrum guide PDF and a script for a sprint. flag Like · comment · see review Dec 14, 2013 Ronald Rajagukguk rated it liked it if you have only a day to grasp the main concept of scrum, the this book is for you. both author talk about the main concept of scrum and how it can help to fasten a software development time. As it’s said on the prolog this book it’s intended for managers level and above, so if you expect for a deeper discusson on scrum then this is not for you. flag Like · comment · see review Feb 01, 2016 Bob Schatz rated it it was amazing Recommended for managers and/or execs looking to bring Scrum into the organization or expand it.
