Agile Software Development with Scrum

eXtreme Programming is an ideal many software shops would love to reach, but with the constant pressures to produce software quickly, they cannot actually implement it. The Agile software process allows a company to implement eXtreme Programming quickly and immediately-and to begin producing software incrementally in as little as 30 days ! Implementing eXtreme Programming is easier said than done. The process can be time consuming and actually slow down current software projects that are in process. This book shows readers how to use SCRUM, an Agile software development process, to quickly and seamlessly implement XP in their shop-while still producing actual software. Using SCRUM and the Agile process can virtually eliminate all downtime during an XP implementation.

The book that introduced the world to SCRUM

Schwaber and Beedle are the co-developers of the software project management methodology known as SCRUM. This book was their first on the subject, and it did a worthy job of convincing me that this particular flavor of agile project management might help ameliorate some of the problems I see on a regular basis with my projects. Although the writing style can be disjointed and opaque at times, the essence of SCRUM comes through...

Great book, wish I had it earlier

SCRUM is a "light weight wrapper" of techniques to manage and guide your software projects. Actually, you could use it on a lot of other types of projects, but software is its best use.What's unique is that it wraps around the "Design it first" school that I follow, as well as the Extreme Programming (XP) school that follows a proto-typing approach.SCRUM provides the mechanisms for organizing and controlling the development...

Why you've been using the wrong process control model

If you've survived software projects that have gone schizophrenic after doing a lot of up-front planning, you may find that chapters 2 and 5 are worth the price of the book. Those chapters compare two process control models: the "defined" model, which is the basis for most methodologies, and the "empirical" model, which is the basis for SCRUM. Knowing the difference between these process control models, and their implications...

Great for learning how to complete projects faster/better

This is the book I've been wanted for years. Until this book, the Scrum development process was not very well known and was documented only piecemeal in a couple of papers and websites. Finally, there's a book a that covers everything you need to know to run your software project using Scrum.Schwaber is the "Godfather of Scrum" and essentially invented the techniques; Beedle was one of the first converts to Scrum and together...
