Book Reviews of Agile Project Management with Scrum (Microsoft Professional)
Book Review: Scrum defined
Summary: 4 Stars
If you want to learn Agile/Scrum, this is a good book to read. The topics are well covered. Who are the stakeholders? Who is chicken, who is pig are all answered. What is Sprint, backlog, velocity, burn down? Why does agile work where others fail in software development? Good examples and explanation of the subject. What is lacking is a cheat sheet of practice principles which one can deduce also, but it would be nice to have. Maybe next version. Enjoy reading it.
Summary of Agile Project Management with Scrum (Microsoft Professional)
Apply the principles of Scrum, one of the most popular agile programming methods, to software project management-and focus your team on delivering real business value. Author Ken Schwaber, a leader in the agile process movement and a co-creator of Scrum, brings his vast expertise to helping you guide the product and software development process more effectively and efficiently. Help eliminate the ambiguity into which so many software projects are borne, where vision and planning documents are essentially thrown over the wall to developers. This high-level reference describes how to use Scrum to manage complex technology projects in detail, combining expert insights with examples and case studies based on Scrum. Emphasizing practice over theory, this book explores every aspect of using Scrum, focusing on driving projects for maximum return on investment.General Books
