By the man who helped invent the red-hot management process known as "Scrum", Scrum unveils what is wrong with the way we currently do work, and how a simple set of principles, applied in exactly the right sequence, can accelerate productivity and quality as much as 1200 percent. Scrum (which gets its name from the formation in rugby in which the whole team locks its arms to gain control of the ball) is the reason that Amazon can launch a new feature on its website every day.

Too dependent on companion PDF
What disappointed you about Agile Project Management for Dummies?
There is way too much reference to figures that are in the print edition, but are only included in the companion PDF of the audiobook. I don't mind occasional references, but there are a lot of these figures that are basic lists or cards that could just be read aloud. It gets the point that you lose a lot of context.
What was most disappointing about Mark C. Layton’s story?
I think the book is fine, but the presentation is pretty useless.

Excellent guide in the Agile world
Great clear ideas delivery, structured guide with lots of references. Excellent book for you if you don’t know where to start with agile, or if you’re sinking in the abundance of information you’ve digested already about it.
It’s better to use e-book/paper version, or one of those combined with audio, because the book contains lots of diagrams, tables and links to templates.

Logical and Well Delivered
I have been in project management for a long time and have heard a lot about Agile however needed a resource which would give me a thorough but understandable way to learn Agile. This audiobook did exactly what I was looking for and I am pretty sure that I will listen to it again. I may even end up buying the text based version as I think it would be a good reference document whilst taking on my first Agile-Run project. Recommended to others who are in my situation.
