Filipe Ferreira: Bastante simples de entender

DanSierraSam79: Picked this book up for a university assignment on Scrum and thought it would be filled with boring Scrum 'theory'. However, the author introduces Scrum by sharing first-hand experience and which made for a really interesting read. If you're interested to learn more about Scrum, then please add this book to your Kindle library!

Chicago Gold: This book offers both textbook theory and practical examples of Scrum application. I especially enjoyed the history. It also helped me realize that executives need to be fully onboard and trained or it will not work correctly. I am pushing this book on everyone I know to adapt the mindset.

Gerk: This book is one that is recommended by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to read for understanding of agile software development and to prepare for the PMI Agile Project Manager certification. It provides valuable information on the Scrum method of software development. Scrum is the most popular and is often combined with other methods and techniques. While not every part of Scrum may apply to every development team, Scrum provides the foundational basis for successful team interaction. Good reference source.

D'nelle Dowis: I read this due to an employer assigning it as ongoing education and despite my cynicism over traditional employment, this book has already been incredibly valuable to me as both an employee AND a freelancer/consultant/business owner/entrepreneur.
This book doesn’t just apply to the world of work/employment - it’s useful for anyone looking to build or accomplish anything efficiently.
As the child of a remodeling contractor, I could immediately apply the lessons of this book in retrospect evaluating the way my parents ran their business, and I’ll be applying it to my own pursuit of building my own business.
However, this should not be seen as a book only for builders or makers - anecdotes towards the end show how SCRUM can be used to improve the pursuit of anything.
My favorite lesson learned is about the importance of team dynamics and leadership’s role in any team pursuit... and how team performance is more important than any individual. Many of the examples come from manufacturing and software development but I can already see how applying the philosophy/framework of SCRUM can improve any team. Many of the ideas were already things I felt...

John D. Hogan: Scrum has become the defacto standard management style in many industries. But in my experience, not many companies do a good job getting Scrum off the ground. They don't put sufficient effort indoctrinating employees on why the company is adopting Scrum and how it will benefit employees and the company. As a result, there isn't true buy-in, and the usual chaos and disfunctional practices continue.
I know this is true, because I've experienced it first-hand serveral times. I've been a software developer and consultant for over 25 years. In the last 10 years or so, several of the teams I've been on were forced to work with Scrum. We'd get a meeting or two with management and maybe a week of training on Scrum basics. But I never understood why we're adopting it and how it would help me.
I didn't like scrum and don't think my team members did either. I believe we resented all the transparency, daily scrum, sprint deadlines seemed threatening, .... No one liked Scrum, and no-one bought into it.
Reading this book changed all these negative perceptions for me. Jeff explains the "why" in such a way that provides the underlying motivations and understanding. I could...

Ed Statue: If you would believe all that Jeff Sutherland claims in his book, then you'd believe he won the Vietnam war singlehandedly, cured cancer, prevented the US economy from collapsing, and invented the ATM.
Though his will and magnificence alone, he buried General MacArthur, shouting, "There can be only one!"
His son fixed NPR, taking it from a middling lemonade-stand outfit to the national, public, and radio organ it is today. His son fixed it using Scrum (the only child Jeff truly cares for) and according to the transitive property of progeny accomplishment, Jeff actually fixed it.
Jeff actually revamped how the New York Times, Washington Post, and Tiger Beat produce their content, and without him, we'd be getting all of our news from Twitter and Facebook posts oh wait-
When Jeff thinks about how great he is, a single tear wells in his eye. Much like the phoenix's, Jeff's tears are known for their curative and life-restoring abilities.
He has stared into the face of God and said, "had you used Scrum to design these animals, we wouldn't have mosquitos. None of the stakeholders want them. Change or die."
Jeff is also partnered with OpenView...
