About the Book

This is the first in a possible series of stories based on true events demonstrating ways of working. These aren't pure fiction and are more relaxed than pure use cases.

I was brought in to "do something" with a large United States company team in 18 months or less. Like most Agile Software Development adoptions, the organization chose Scrum as its framework. Also, like many, the adoption didn't seem to be going well, and they were dissatisfied with their Scrum Master.

Spoiler: In less than 12 months, the team was self-managing and self-organizing.

Method

About the Author

Josh Bruce

I'm a wanderer and a collector of stories who feels like an alien dropped on a ship with limited time to interact and explore.

I love to learn. I love to experience. I love to share.

Working as a life and Agile Coach. Academically focused in the fine arts. Personally trained in software engineering. And fascinated by the human condition of being an alien on a ship set adrift in a sea of stars surrounded by 7+ billion other aliens here, for what seems like, the first time; all that to say, I have an affinity for the humanities (mainly psychology, sociology, and philosophy).
