Recommendation

Mark C. Layton lays out the basic principles of the “scrum” approach to project management. He provides a fast-paced introduction to “sprint planning,” “daily scrum,” “sprint reviews” and tools for agile project delivery. Layton depicts how scrum creates value beyond software development by giving varied industry examples, from civil engineering in India to electronic health records in the United States. The structured “Dummies” format works well for newcomers and features enlightening sidebar tips, technical backgrounders and pivotal points. getAbstract finds that Layton’s manual will serve novice project managers, with or without traditional training, as well as anyone else who wants to implement transparent, flexible and agile project management.

Take-Aways

  • “Scrum” is a simple framework that supports agile project management.
  • Assign formal roles when building your project team: a “product owner,” a “scrum master” and a “development team.”
  • Start your “road map to value” by formulating your vision.
