Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time

Scrum is the Implementation of a Work in Simple Steps and the Exact Sequence to Deliver Outstanding Results and the key to resolving the era's most difficult problems. This appealing method of scrum formation while performing any task increases productivity while requiring the least amount of time to complete the activity. Here is a brilliantly discursive, thought-provoking book about the leadership and management process that is changing the way people live for those who believe there must be a more agile and efficient way for people to get things done.

Historians may look back on human progress in the future and draw a sharp line denoting "before Scrum" and "after Scrum." Scrum is that revolutionary. It already powers the majority of the world's leading technology companies. And it's now spreading to every domain where leaders face complex projects.

Scrum is one of the reasons you may have been surprised by how quickly the world is changing. Productivity gains of up to 1200 percent have been reported, and no one explains Scrum and its bright promise more clearly – or compellingly – than Jeff Sutherland, the man who assembled the first Scrum team more than twenty years ago.

Jeff's vexing problem back then boiled down to this: people are spectacularly bad at doing things with agility and efficiency. Even the best-laid plans go up in smoke. Teams frequently work at odds with one another. And as the pressure mounts, so does unhappiness. Jeff began challenging those dysfunctional realities by drawing on his experience as a West Point-educated fighter pilot, biometrics expert, early innovator of ATM technology, and V.P. of engineering or CTO at eleven different technology companies.

In this book, you'll travel to the front lines of Scrum, where Jeff's system of deep accountability, team interaction, and continuous iterative improvement is, among other things, bringing the FBI into the twenty-first century, perfecting the design of an affordable 140 mile per hour/100 mile per gallon car, assisting NPR in reporting fast-moving action in the Middle East, changing the way pharmacists interact with patients, reducing poverty in the Third World, and even helping people plan their retirement.

Scrum is consistently engrossing, weaving insights from martial arts, judicial decision making, advanced aerial combat, robotics, and many other disciplines. The most important reason to read this book is that it may just help you achieve what others consider impossible – whether it's inventing a game-changing technology, designing a new educational system, pioneering a new way to feed the hungry, or, closer to home, laying the groundwork for your family to thrive and prosper.

Important Takeaways:

• Describes techniques for making any task more efficient and cost-effective.
• In any universal application, this is the best tool for team optimization and problem solving.
