The basic principles that support the best Scrum practices are presented in a simple and coherent way that will enable the beginner to the Scrum expert to put into practice practical applications that drive real value." —Richard James Hoxie

Well Written

"This book covers Scrum in wonderful detail. One thing I haven't seen mentioned much - it's also very easy to read and generally extremely well-written. This is not a super dense, difficult-to-get-through-but-worth it book. It's actually just easy to read, information-dense, and super worth it." —uzair
