The pilots who survived didn't fly faster aircraft — they cycled through the OODA loop faster than the missiles chasing them. Jeff Sutherland was one of them. He went on to co‑create Scrum. Now, six decades later, he is running AI agents through daily sprints at machine speed — and this book is the playbook for how to do it without getting shot down.

Playful popular quotes, academic research, and anecdotes from numerous fields of endeavour from computer programming to jujitsu, from movie editing to watching a friend play football, are all used to demonstrate the characteristics and challenges of each audiencing type.

Not hype about getting rich. Not a prototype tutorial. The real work — finding suitable jobs honestly, scoping them clearly, building in small checked steps, verifying quality and security, handing over cleanly, and supporting the result for years.
