Scrum Audio Book Summary:
Jeff Sutherland helped develop the popular management process known as “Scrum”. Scrum is a term that is taken from the game rugby. It is when the whole team bands together, locking arms to form a wall and increase their chances of gaining the ball. In this audiobook, listeners will learn the errors we inadvertently commit during daily work and how a simple change in certain principles can help increase our productivity as well as the quality of the work that we put in. Scrum has been utilized by several big name companies. It is pointed as the reason why Amazon is able to produce brand new features in their websites on a daily basis. It is also the reason how the FBI managed to develop and finalize their enormous anti-terrorist database.
There is a reason why Scrum is being quickly embraced by people all around the world and that reason is simple: this method helps iron out the kinks in work ethic and helps increase productivity and quality without having negative effects on the workforce or the individual. At its basest form, Scrum shows the importance of team work in any endeavor and how certain principles can help a group achieve what they once considered unreachable. Jeff Sutherland is one of the most trusted business advisers today and he wants to help other people develop their own practices in order to better themselves both personally and business-wise.
One reason to listen:
Scrum is one of the most popular management processes being used by the top companies today. Learn the secret to their success so that you yourself can implement it into your daily life.

Reactions:
“Jeff Sutherland cuts to the chase. In succinct, case-based chapters, he tells you how to get large groups of people into small, highly efficient and contented groups of workers, who can accomplish complex, multi-level tasks. An essential and fascinating book for anyone faced with a large project involving many participants.” – Paul Kafka-Gibbons
“Reading this book will help energize you to use Scrum to help your team succeed. If you want motivation to explore more about Scrum, or if you have been practicing Scrum for a while and are looking for renewed inspiration, give this book a read.” – Steve Berczuk
“A great read – enjoy and be challenged to be more productive and fruitful in your work. Recommended.” – Michael Taylor
“Not as much of a primer on Scrum as it is a good overview, ways it can be applied in diverse situations, and the basics of how to kick-start the effort in your organization. It may be useful for those who want to know about it even if they don’t want the details of all artifacts and relationships within scrum.” – SVA
“I felt that this book engages in relentless propaganda to promote the practice. When it engages in this, it neglects aspects that may serve as counter-arguments. Well, this is just a caveat, and if you are experienced enough in your trade you don’t even need this caveat.” – GKK Dealhound
