Take the FBI 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 its 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 and organisation 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.__________________________Full of engaging stories and real-world examples.

I started using it with my business and family halfway through reading the book. - LEO BABAUTA, creator of ZEN HABITS Scrum dramatically increases productivity while reducing employees frustrations with the typical corporate nonsense.

Back Cover THE WAY WE WORK IS WRONG: THIS IS THE SOLUTION. SCRUM is the revolutionary approach to project management and team-building that is transforming the way businesses operate. Already adopted by world-leading organisations including Google, Amazon and the FBI, it has been proven to slash costs and working hours while simultaneously delivering staggering productivity increases of as much as 400-800%! What makes this possible? The fact that Scrum is based on the way people really work, rather than how they think they work. Taking an incremental approach, Scrum reduces team sizes and breaks down projects into short-term goals, allowing constant assessment of progress and an agile, adaptive approach to problem-solving. The improvements in speed and quality of work can be seen almost immediately. For the first time ever, Scrum co-creator Jeff Sutherland explains how it can be applied universally - information no organisation can afford to be without. Author Biography J.J.
