If you want to improve your ability to deliver a scrum project, then this audiobook is for you. The book does not give you magic-wand techniques but instead focuses your attention on where you should go to understand the fundamentals of scrum.

Scrum is a very easy framework to understand but an extremely challenging one to implement. This is not usually because its practices require special aptitude for learning or even years of experience, but because of the emotional, ideological, and other real world challenges that we all face in business. Realizing how important the answer to the question "Why?" is, I have condensed hours of research and experience into one easy guide.

As authors, we all find our starting points within our craft. These are the earliest collections of William Brower, written between 1986 and 1994.

This book helps you define your "why" or purpose and then helps you develop a plan and accountability system in order to achieve your goals and build character in the process. It discusses the PDCA process (plan, do, check, adjust), which, when applied to any desired goal, allows for overall growth and forward movement.
