Download or read book Scrum written by Jeff Sutherland and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revolutionary “Red Book” that helped a generation work smarter, better, and faster—now expanded and updated with new stories, new ideas, and new methods to radically improve the way you and your company deliver results If you’ve ever been startled by how fast the world is changing, the Scrum framework is one of the reasons why. Productivity gains in workflow of as much as 1,200 percent have been recorded, and there’s no more lucid—or compelling—explainer of Scrum and its bright promise than Jeff Sutherland. The thorny problem that Sutherland began tackling back then boils down to this: People are spectacularly bad at doing things with agility and efficiency. Best-laid plans go up in smoke. Teams often work at cross-purposes to one another. And when the pressure rises, unhappiness soars. Woven with insights from martial arts, judicial decision making, advanced aerial combat, robotics, and Sutherland’s experience as a West Point–educated fighter pilot, a biometrics expert, a medical researcher, an early innovator of ATM technology, and a C-level executive at eleven different technology companies, this book will take you to Scrum’s front lines, where Sutherland’s system has brought the FBI into the twenty-first century, helped support John Deere’s supply chain amid a global pandemic and supply chain shortage, reduced poverty in the Third World, and even planned weddings and accomplished weekend chores. The way we work has changed dramatically since Sutherland first introduced Scrum a decade ago. This urgent update shares new insights and provides new tools to take advantage of the radical productivity that Scrum delivers. Sutherland will show you how to optimize working with artificial intelligence and share the latest cognitive science research on culture, psychological safety, diversity, and happiness, and how these factors drive performance, innovation, and overall organizational health. This new edition contains a decade of lessons learned. Whether it’s ten years ago, now, or ten years into the future, the Scrum framework is guaranteed to help you deliver results. But the most important reason to read this book is that it may just help you achieve what others consider unachievable.
Download or read book Becoming A Great Scrum Master written by Anusha Hewage and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About a decade ago, most people, especially those not involved in IT, knew nothing about Agile. However, fast-forward ten years, and almost all organizations and enterprises know a bit about Agile. The agile transformation has in fact begun in most organizations, but others are unsure about where and how to start. Most people who have experience with Agile agree on one particular thing: it is a better way of working. The scrum master plays a significant role in Agile transformation by helping the team work the Agile way, ensuring that the team is well organized and that each member is always serving the greater good of the team and helping the team overcome challenges.A Scrum Master is a teacher, leader, and a change agent, capable of building a team that can govern its own affairs and ultimately making the team capable of operating without the scrum master's intervention. However, not all scrum masters take delight in these roles, instead considering their designation a way of moving up the ladder. Then there are those who desire to be heroes via the role, while others maintain the vision of becoming a scrum master, perhaps inspired by another scrum master, for the inspirational goodwill that the role may offer. Situations abound where managers pick any available person to become a scrum master. I have seen some people succeed in this job and seen others grow weary and run out of the zeal it takes to continue. I have also seen some really thrive while others get exhausted, de-motivated, and eager to just run away. There is more to becoming a good scrum master than zeal, focus, and motivation. Becoming a good scrum master goes beyond being determined, inspired, and excited to succeed. It requires soft skills and leadership plus a solid understanding of Agile, its principles, and practices. A good scrum master has the courage and will to learn despite challenges. The path can prove challenging, bumpy, and uneasy, but a good scrum master maintains courage and the will to learn. This book acts as a guide toward acquiring the necessary knowledge and the requisite skill set to succeed as scrum master. I have been privileged to coach and train several scrum masters, executives, product owners, and teams in different countries and industries, so I offer here real-life experiences. In fact, most of the scenarios explained in this book are actual cases, but I have changed the names of individuals and organizations in order to protect anonymity.

Download or read book Humble Leadership written by Edgar H. Schein and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The more traditional forms of leadership that are based on static hierarchies and professional distance between leaders and followers are growing increasingly outdated and ineffective. As organizations face more complex interdependent tasks, leadership must become more personal in order to insure open trusting communication that will make more collaborative problem solving and innovation possible. Without open and trusting communications throughout organizations, they will continue to face the productivity and quality problems that result from reward systems that emphasize individual competition and “climbing the corporate ladder”. Authors Edgar Schein and Peter Schein recognize this reality and call for a reimagined form of leadership that coincides with emerging trends of relationship building, complex group work, diverse workforces, and cultures in which everyone feels psychologically safe. Humble Leadership calls for “here and now” humility based on a deeper understanding of the constantly evolving complexities of interpersonal, group and intergroup relationships that require shifting our focus towards the process of group dynamics and collaboration. Humble Leadership at all levels and in all working groups will be the key to achieving the creativity, adaptiveness, and agility that organizations will need to survive and grow.
