But being a great ScrumMaster, one who truly embodies the principles of servant-leadership and helps move a team to the high performance levels possible with Scrum, is much harder and much more elusive. In this audiobook, Geoff shares a collection of stories and practical guidance, drawn from over 10 years of coaching numerous Scrum teams that will guide you on your path to greatness.

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.

Software is increasingly being applied to expand the breadth of operational efficiencies in organizations. Today, software is changing every component of the value chain like logistics, operations, and communications. As was with the industrial automation in the 20th century and its impact on the transformation of design, development, and delivery of physical goods, organizations in today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving software market must have a paradigm shift in the way they develop and deliver their software.

More than ever, the effective management of technology is critical for business competitiveness. For decades, technology leaders have struggled to balance agility, reliability, and security. The consequences of failure have never been greater - whether it's the healthcare.gov debacle, cardholder data breaches, or missing the boat with Big Data in the cloud. And yet, high performers using DevOps principles, such as Google, Amazon, and Netflix, are routinely and reliably deploying code into production hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day.

But honest and open conversations are not taking place between management and Agile delivery teams.

Software is becoming more and more important across a broad range of industries, yet most technology executives struggle to deliver software improvements their businesses require. Leading-edge companies like Amazon and Google are applying DevOps and Agile principles to deliver large software projects faster than anyone thought possible. But most executives don't understand how to transform their current legacy systems and processes to scale these principles across their organizations. Leading the Transformation is executive guide, providing a clear framework for improving development and delivery. Instead of the traditional Agile and DevOps approaches that focus on improving the effectiveness of teams, this book targets the coordination of work across teams in large organizations - an improvement that executives are uniquely positioned to lead.

How can we apply technology to drive business value? For years we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter - that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research to include data collected from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance - and what drives it - using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research, making the information accessible for listeners to apply in their own organizations.

There just isn't enough time for everything on our to-do list - and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure those get done. They eat their frogs. There's an old saying that if the first thing you do each morning is eat a live frog, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you're done with the worst thing you'll have to do all day. For Tracy, eating a frog is a metaphor for tackling your most challenging task - but also the one that can have the greatest positive impact on your life.

Transitioning into agile project management and digital delivery professional space became a prominent trend across industries over the past five years. Competitive job market is becoming saturated with candidates who do not fully understand how modern recruitment for agile roles works - at least in Australia.

Written primarily for aspiring professionals who want to enter the world of agile project management and digital delivery, but lack the right knowledge or specific insights, this audiobook is an attempt to share my personal findings and summarize research made as part of becoming a professional Scrum Master.
This includes plenty of my subjective yet educated opinions on a number of topics surrounding general theme of presenting yourself as the most appealing agile job candidate, providing advice on how to capitalize on your current professional background, understanding your skill gaps and available options, and pivoting towards a Scrum Master role within agile digital delivery as efficiently as possible.
You will learn about....
- What requirements apply to Scrum Master role candidates these days
- How to deal with Recruiters and get your application through their initial filter
- How different companies see Scrum Master roles and responsibilities
- What are Agile Hybrid roles, and why should it concern Scrum Masters
- How to do your research and other preparation properly

Brilliant
The author has done an excellent effort in breaking down topics to manageable chunks. Furthermore, the author writes with the Australian Agile Market in mind and states it beforehand. However, from my experience, conceptually the ideas arising out of the Agile Delivery space and ground-level manner in which Dmitri tackles the subject can be applied globally, at least to US corporations. Kudos on a book well thought out and written. I look forward to listening to your podcasts.
