Questionable reviews and mediocre content - Beware
The content is mediocre. It is as though a person paid a researcher to compile a compendium on the topic and then paid a narrator to read it without affect or intonation.
The performance was not checked for quality. the narrator snorts and snuffles quite audibly for five seconds at only 10 minutes in (8:23 in chapter 3 to be precise). A cursory QA/QC check and simple editing would have fixed this.
If you travel frequently and need to have someone read a series of whitepapers and wiki entries on Scrum, this is an OK stand-in for that use case.
Now... on to the reviews. 25 5-star ratings in 48 hours following the release and then none for two weeks. In isolation, there is nothing remarkable about these reviews, until you compare them with other works here on Audible...
Contrast this with a NYT AND Amazon bestseller "The Point of It All" by Charles Krauthammer, which was released Dec 04, 2018. At the time of this review, the Krauthammer book had 68 reviews dispersed over 20+ days. This book on Scrum has 25 reviews in 48 hours. I should have done my due diligence and research into this audiobook on Scrum, as the author's other Audible volumes appear to have a similar pattern of review distribution and timing. Sad.

Nice Audiobook
Scrum basics discusses the history and principles of Agile project management in a simplified enough way for even those with no experience in the field to understand. It breaks down the differences in traditional offices compared to Agile ones and takes time to explain the terminology used in both the field as well as Scrum practice.

I loved It
The books go into the early years of development of programming being unsuccessful due to over emphasis on pre-planning and not working with customers to ensure their needs were being met throughout the development process.

Happy with it
The book includes a history of the way software development began and how it evolved into the current form. This is followed by a nice explanation of how the scrum system works and how to use it. Lastly, the book has examples of how scrum has been used by well-known software developers in the past.

Super Helpful
This book is meant for professional software developers who work in groups. It is not for useful for a casual programmer. It's a way for the programmers to communicate and work with their clients in a more direct manner to assist both parties during the product development.
