Story
If you have ever been part of a great team, you will know it is exponentially better than being part of a mediocre team. Teams are at the heart of working in complex domains and are essential to the success of agile approaches yet relatively few teams achieve greatness. Agile and leadership coach Geoff Watts has pulled together his many years of experience with all sorts of teams from software to product development, from medical teams to sports teams and has identified five common characteristics of great teams:
Publisher's Summary
The definitive account of the Scrum methodology from its cocreator and the CEO of Scrum, Inc., Jeff Sutherland.
Scrum is the revolutionary approach to project management and team building that has helped to transform everything from software companies to the US military to health care in major American hospitals. In this major new book, its originator, Jeff Sutherland, explains precisely and step by step how it operates - and how it can be made to work for anyone, anywhere.
Take the FBI's attempt to digitize its records, for example. As with so many software projects, the first attempt failed, having taken four years and cost over $400 million. Then the FBI turned to Scrum and, just over a year later, unveiled a functioning system that cost less than a tenth of the first project and employed a tenth of the staff.
And it's not just grand projects that Scrum can help with. Every organisation, whatever its size, constantly has to come to grips with delivering a product or service on time and on budget. Scrum shows you how. It explains how to define precisely what it is that you are seeking to achieve, how to set up the team to achieve it, and how to monitor progress until the project is successfully completed.
Filled with practical examples drawn from all types of organisations, it will make you rethink the fundamentals of successful management - and show you how to get things done however everyday or ambitious, however small or large your organisation.

A must read for anyone interested in working with Agile/Scrum methodologies. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to improve their jobs, their lives, and even their environments, as this book demonstrates that Scrum is not only applicable to business, but it can be applied for any aspect of life.

Scrum enables and support design thinking. It has also changed how I act as a leader and how to enable my team to become more successful in their professional and personal lives.

Instead almost the entire book was like some sort of spin sell about how amazing the system is, intermingled with pompous cheesy quotes. the but I wanted was at the very end like an afterthought. such a shame, this book could have been all much better.

Utter Rubbish & Waste of Time
Any additional comments?
I'm just over an hour and a half in and am massively disappointed by this book so far; so much so that I've been motivated to write a review before I get my credit refunded.
I'm a software engineer and was hoping to learn some useful and "official" scrum knowledge. So far, actual useful scrum related content must be only around a minute's worth, with the remainder being bragging ("I flew military planes", "do martial arts", "saved the FBI with IT", "my son is a war correspondent" kind of thing). This is unforgivable for a book who's title makes claims about doing twice the work in half the time.
If you've worked in software development for any length of time, you've likely come across the blaggers - people who are really good at talking, but very poor at doing. They point out problems at length, trying to make out like they are intelligent. Some fools fall for this, but any idiot can point out faults. It takes someone with intelligence to come up with solutions. After an hour and a half, all I've heard has been very light on useful information, but chock full of pointless anecdote after anecdote. At let's not forget the narcism - must be tough when you're so starved of praise that you have to write a book telling the whole world how great you are.
When some "facts" are introduced, they are very dubious. Take, for instance, the discussion about variation in developer productivity, which can apparently vary by up to as much as a factor of 10 for someone to produce a similar deliverable. Contrary to this, my own experience of development and others' work is that people who produce solutions faster do so at the cost of quality (I'm trying to remember where I've read things to back this up, perhaps it was in the excellent Code Complete by Steve McConnell). Then the author goes on to say that other studies have found that variation in team productivity can be much greater than a factor of 10, making the claim that something that took one team 1 week to do took some teams up to 2000 weeks to do. Wow, great statistic to quote to your boss, right? Better sort out our team, yes? Except for, if you think about it, that's over 38 years it took this other team to complete a task that one team could do in a week. This team must have been made up of very persistent people with severe learning difficulties. And I'd also like to know which team actually kept on with the same task for over 38 years. The problem is that this will now become a "fact" because it's been published in a book and people will listen to it and absorb it without question.
Another thing that was mentioned was how great it was to tear down cubicles to make way for an open plan office. This is stupid - study after study has shown that people with their own office, especially developers, are more productive. The reason is obvious and simple: software development is a thinking discipline and when you're in a noisy office with people interrupting you with questions whenever they feel like it doesn't help. You should convert the cubicles to real offices, not tear them down!
I'm going to finish this review by saying that the author is a fool. Even if this book is amazing from chapter 5 onwards, I've had enough of my time wasted by a narcissist who I never, ever want the misfortune of working with that I won't bother continuing. How this book has gotten so many good reviews, I'll never know.

Great story telling.
I read an inflamatory review of this book telling that it is too self indulging. At times it feels like the scrum will solve world hunger, find a cure for all diseases and make every human clever. But in general this book is full of examples why scrum works and why when done properly it will make your job more enjoyable. JJ Sutherland narrating is great and the supporting stories very engaging.

Feels like a sales pitch instead of advice
My experience with audio books about scrum is that they exists somewhere on a spectrum from anecdotal stories clearly designed to sell you scrum (the bad side of the specrum) to instructive and specific guides on how to implement scrum efficiently (the good side of the specturm). Unfortunetly this book exists completely on the bad side. if you are a beginner to scrum then it might be advisable to read this to get some very basic concepts, however you won't find anything in this book that you wont find in others. This book consists of "I went to a company and increased efficiency 1000% and cured the CEOs asthma because I used scrum" repackaged into different stories. Useful to sell you the idea of scrum (the author owns a scrum consultancy business so obviously that's what he wants to do) but useless in helping you overcome the challenges of implementing scrum.

good book, but take with a pinch of salt.
whist this is a good book, the author has added a big dollop of his ego... you can't have that if your going to be a good Scrum Master.

very well explained and easy to understand
Very well explained and easy to understand. The real world case studies of how Scrum has changed the way people work to acheive objectives is facinating.

Great base for a solid understanding of scrum
Very informative and easy to follow. Narrator made a big difference. The book doesn't go very much in to depth about how things are done but instead explains why they are done a certain way and why that's important. A good use of examples that also show both sides makes this book seem very objective while a casual sense of humour makes it very easy to emphasize with the main theme.

New to Scrum but WOW!
I've spent years wondering if work could improve and whether I can continue in my industry if it can't. I took a punt and went for this audio book. What a difference this has made, the book was well written, with valid case studies and narration that kept me interested. I've listened to the book twice now and completed the Scrum Master course. I'm yet to put my learnings into practice but it's still early days.
