书籍简介：

We live in a world that is broken. For those who believe that there must be a more efficient way for people to get things done, here from Scrum pioneer Jeff Sutherland is a brilliantly discursive, thought-provoking book about the management process that is changing the way we live. In the future, historians may look back on human progress and draw a sharp line designating “before Scrum” and “after Scrum.” Scrum is that ground-breaking. It already drives most of the world’s top technology companies. And now it’s starting to spread to every domain where people wrestle with complex projects. If you’ve ever been startled by how fast the world is changing, Scrum is one of the reasons why. Productivity gains of as much as 1200% have been recorded, and there’s no more lucid – or compelling – explainer of Scrum and its bright promise than Jeff Sutherland, the man who put together the first Scrum team more than twenty years ago. The thorny problem Jeff began tackling back then boils down to this: people are spectacularly bad at doing things quickly and efficiently. Best laid plans go up in smoke. Teams often work at cross purposes to each other. And when the pressure rises, unhappiness soars. Drawing on his experience as a West Point-educated fighter pilot, biometrics expert, early innovator of ATM technology, and V.P. of engineering or CTO at eleven different technology companies, Jeff began challenging those dysfunctional realities, looking for solutions that would have global impact. In this book you’ll journey to Scrum’s front lines where Jeff’s system of deep accountability, team interaction, and constant iterative improvement is, among other feats, bringing the FBI into the 21st century, perfecting the design of an affordable 140 mile per hour/100 mile per gallon car, helping NPR report fast-moving action in the Middle East, changing the way pharmacists interact with patients, reducing poverty in the Third World, and even helping people plan their weddings and accomplish weekend chores. Woven with insights from martial arts, judicial decision making, advanced aerial combat, robotics, and many other disciplines, Scrum is consistently riveting. But the most important reason to read this book is that it may just help you achieve what others consider unachievable – whether it be inventing a trailblazing technology, devising a new system of education, pioneering a way to feed the hungry, or, closer to home, a building a foundation for your family to thrive and prosper.

书友短评：

@ GARGOYLE "Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time"主要讲述了 Why and how is Scrum created。我推荐那些想要了解并使用 Scrum 的小伙伴。里面对于Product Owner, Scrum Master 还有 team 的构成都给了很多概念上的解释及其为什么要这么做的原因。“How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” @ barrel Scrum的经典。其实即使不是做产品开发，跟IT不相关，也应该一读。 @ 阿星 结尾处居然用了Thomas Edward Lawrence，感人 @ 乔木森林 比较清晰的介绍了方法和概念 @ 白夜 上班读的 @ 花飘零 还不错，具体讲了scrum,如何快速获取customer feedback ，在daily standup 里不断改善，在每个sprint planning 里把backlog 按优先级排序，在demo时及时获取反馈。把task 分成to do, doing, done,提高visibility也能够看优先级，让scrums master unblock 等等。
