Synopsis

Scrum is widely defined as an iterative and incremental Agile Framework to build complex products of the highest possible value. It is an incremental approach to develop a product through successive and relentless improvements. In this book, Aditi explains the Scrum roles, artifacts, ceremonies, and principles, along with advanced concepts such as managing technical debt, writing good user stories, publishing scrum charts, and more.

About this title

From the Author

This book will teach you all the fundamental concepts of the Agile Scrum Framework and will equip you to build complex products that deliver high business value to your customers. With the Agile Scrum Framework, you will be able to stay ahead of your competition, respond quickly to changing market conditions or emerging technologies, deliver incremental business value at a sustainable pace, create a customer-first approach, and build self-organizing teams.
Being an Agile coach, I mentor both product and engineering teams. When new people onboard, they seldom have an understanding of this framework. Often, people play different roles prescribed by the framework but struggle to understand their responsibilities. Even enterprise leaders find it challenging to embrace Agile values and principles. This inspired me to write this book in a simple, easy-to-understand language for anyone who needs to learn Scrum or those who need a reference guide at work.
I have organized the chapters in this book very carefully such that anyone with no prior knowledge on this framework can understand what it means and quickly apply the concepts at work.
If you are looking to deliver maximum business value to your customers, learn the Agile Scrum Framework with this book today!
