Scrum First Aid (Single Copy)
Scrum First Aid
A Recipe Book for Fixing Scrum Challenges and Anti-Patterns
About the Book
Has your team recently adopted Scrum? Has your company's leadership recently encouraged the development process to become more "agile"? Are you an experienced development team whose Scrum implementation is causing more problems than it solves? Then this book is for you!
Whether your current Scrum implementation feels like a slightly-broken process or a five-alarm dumpster fire, you're not alone. Scrum is often touted as a simple, lightweight roadmap to agile success, but it can take years to master the intricacies of the framework. You don't have years, though; you have deadlines to meet and products to deliver.
By distilling common Scrum problems down to their essence, and providing effective solutions to painful Scrum challenges, you can spend more time focusing on product development than putting out framework-imposed fires. It's like hiring an industry-leading Agile Coach for pennies on the dollar.
Filled with illustrative examples and practical solutions, this book is suitable for all Scrum Teams and agile practitioners, regardless of experience level. Whether you're new to Scrum and still trying to wrap your head around some of its less-intuitive practices, or an experienced agilist looking to continuously improve your team's processes, there's something here for you.

Reader Testimonials
Ron Lichty, Author: Managing the Unmanageable
The writing is easy to read and absorb.
[R]eaders are going to love seeing the 'gotchas' highlighted here...and will find the organization by problem-set and discussion of solutions valuable. The writing is easy to read and absorb. You may not agree with every point or nuance, but even in the unlikely event you’ve encountered every problem listed here and tried every solution, you’ll even then come away with words you wish you had to describe it to others and sell in those solutions.
