Must-read for every Scrum Master

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is a must-read for every Scrum Master! I've just finished reading it for the third time and although I consider myself quite experienced, I've gathered a large amount of new insights. The three levels of the Scrum Master are a useful perspective to take into account. It clearly shows the richness and potential of the Scrum Master role. The book contains clear examples, practices, and lot's of exercises you can try immediately. If you're interested in this position, this book is definitely worth reading.

Who prints a professional book on toilet-paper-thin paper?

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

In my entire life, I have never owned, or even seen a book with paper so cheap that you could see through the pages to see the print on the other side. I didn't even realize such a thing was possible until I bought this book. It's actually distracting to read. I'm honestly flabbergasted that a book this pricy used paper this cheap.
Now, the quality of the content is good. It's well written and informative. But it's also expensive, short, and I didn't even know this was a thing to look for, but the paper quality is lower than a newspaper. If you're thinking of using a highlighter or marker to notate passages, think twice, it'll bleed through.

Fantastic overview though gaps in details left me wanting more

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019

This could have been a 5 star book for me. I felt the wisdom and lessons learning oozing out of her words as I read. Maybe for those newer in their experience and study of all things agile and lean, it would be 5 stars. I think this book is more for scrum masters/agile coaches earlier in their journey mainly due to several areas where getting into more detail of the how to use the tools and situation learning could have doubled the size of this short book. Much of the material I had read elsewhere.

I really enjoyed the start of the book that was more detailed for setting the tone and direction of the being a Scrum Master and her view of the progression. The illustrations are beautifully done. They are simple and clearly represent the key points of the subject area. I could not get enough of the illustrations. I especially enjoyed the material on self-organization and building teams being mindful of the possible dysfunctions.

Many areas such as working within the system – level 3, the practical use of Cynefin, and going for change, scaling scrum (one page) deserved called out for more attention. For example, while the Cynefin concept was highlighted, there was no discussion of “unknown unknowns” and emergence and how that plays in out in product development and how to talk about it so the organization understands what is happening. Or how do you deal with a system that does not want to engage you in real discussion as agent of change? I know she has a wealth of experience that I would have liked to learn from. If I saw the revision with this type of detail, it would jump to front of my reading queue!

Very good book. I like the fact that she started as a not-so-convinced developer who then was moved to the Scrum Master position. Very recommended

I'm an Agile coach and I found this book to be particularly helpful to me in building our training for the teams that I work with. I recommend reading this book if you are a new or even an experienced ScrumMaster. I often use the section on self-organizing teams to help me explain those concepts to students in my coursework.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to embrace agile, not only for Scrum Masters. I like the way is direct and simple to understand, therefore easy to implement.

It’s OKAY...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2018

Verified Purchase

Amazon USA has this at nearly stars, 17 ratings. Amazon UK had it at 3 stars. I think it’s a lot closer to the 3 than the 5.

Pros: it’s short and a nice refresher, and has some nice introduction to further concepts (eg change management).

Cons: maybe this book wasn’t for me as a seasoned scrum master, but I just felt I didn’t gain enough out of it for it to be valuable.

umm the book is OK it has some good ideas but what has very much put me off

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 6, 2018

umm the book is OK it has some good ideas but what has very much put me off; there are a number of pages where the author tries to sell her consulting services into companies I do not think these belong in a book which has been purchased. Also I am not sure that personal choice of LeSS belongs, it should be an open discussion around the options to scale

It's not a great book

Reviewed in France on May 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

Je m'étais laissé tenter par les commentaires élogieux. J'ai vite déchanté.
Livre plus que moyen. Il ne faut définitivement pas son prix.
Les conseils/techniques/sentences sont des poncifs qu'on peut retrouver un peu partout sur les blogs plus ou moins spécialisés.
Ce bouquin ressemble plus une publicité payée au prix fort. L'auteur ne cesse de mettre en avant ses certifications et d'expliquer qu'elle est disponible pour des formations/workshop.
Bref, des généralités jamais vraiment poussées. Et si vous en voulez plus, payez vous une formation avec l'auteur. Voici l'esprit du livre. Tout ce que l'on déteste chez scrum: le côté mercantile des pseudo-guru. Pour l'esprit du manifeste Agile, on repassera.
A éviter.
Pour ceux qui recherche un vrai bouquin pour passer un cap, je vous conseille plutôt "Scrum Mastery" de Geoff Watts, c'est un autre monde.
