The book covers all roles, rules and the main principles underpinning Scrum, and is based on the Scrum Guide Edition 2013. A broader context to this fundamental description of Scrum is given by describing the past and the future of Scrum. The author, Gunther Verheyen, has created a concise, yet complete and passionate reference about Scrum. The book demonstrates his core view that Scrum is about a journey, a journey of discovery and fun. He designed the book to be a helpful guide on that journey. <a href="https://amzn.to/2LNguwh" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Click here to purchase on Amazon</a>.[/callout]</p> <p>[reminder]Which topic resonated with you?
