  1. First Principles in Scrum: OpenClaw Scrum and Scrum@Scale
    Create Trust at Machine Speed
    Jeff Sutherland

    Fifty RF‑101 Voodoos arrived in Vietnam. Forty‑seven were shot down in a year. 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.

  2. Deliver What Matters When It Matters
    Value-Driven Product Delivery through Clarity, Timing, and Flow
    Ryan Kent

    Deliver What Matters, When It Matters is a practical guide to delivery optimization for teams working in complex environments. Through real-world stories and actionable tools, it helps coaches, product managers, and delivery leaders close the gap between effort and impact.

  3. Software Estimation
    Estimation that Works
    Stephan Schmidt

     Your CEO asks for an estimate. Your engineer says "3 weeks." Your CEO responds "you have 3 days." Sound familiar? After 30 years managing engineering teams, I've learned that most estimation is pure waste—and the pressure to give "better estimates" destroys trust and team morale. This book reveals a counterintuitive truth: stop estimating so much. Only estimate when it directly drives decisions. Learn why software estimation is fractal (like measuring Britain's coastline), how to distinguish effort from duration, and why your team keeps "missing deadlines." Discover how to reframe engineering from a cost center (always fighting for budget) to a profit center (getting the resources you deserve). Written for CTOs and engineering leaders, this practical guide delivers immediately actionable frameworks based on real experience coaching dozens of technical leaders. No theory, no agile dogma—just honest advice on estimation that actually works.

  4. Flow Metrics for Scrum Teams
    Because story points were never a part of Scrum anyway
    Daniel Vacanti and Will Seele

  10. Stop Facilitating, Start Leading
    The Scrum Master's Path to Value Flow Management
    Tristan Libersat

    You’ve facilitated your 50th retrospective. The same issues surface. The same action items are created. Nothing changes. Features marked "done" sit in queues for months. You’re doing your job perfectly—and it’s making no difference.What if the problem isn’t your facilitation skills? What if the Scrum Master role itself is trapped in an outdated model?

  12. Is your team’s ‘busy work’ not translating into shipped features? You’re not alone. The root cause is often a lack of clarity, not a lack of effort. In ‘Build Faster: The Product Clarity Playbook,’ you’ll get:- The 4-part framework to turn vague ideas into buildable work.- The 1-page PRD template that guarantees alignment.- The 2 non-negotiable rules for writing perfectly clear tasks.- Real case studies from the field. Stop the rework cycles and start shipping with confidence.

  15. Ready (Edição em Português do Brasil)
    Por Que a Maioria dos Projetos de Software Fracassa e Como Solucionar Isso
    Max Guernsey, III, Luniel de Beer, and TranslateAI

    A maioria dos problemas de entrega não é causada pelo código, pela equipe ou pelo processo de gestão do trabalho. Eles começam lá no início (upstream): na forma como os requisitos amadurecem (ou não). O livro Ready apresenta o Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF), um sistema para controlar, esclarecer e alinhar o trabalho — antes de começar e sem alterar seu framework. Se suas Sprints terminam com tarefas reportadas, retrabalho ou entregando algo diferente do esperado, o RMF é a solução estrutural que você estava precisando.
