About this listen
The basics of being a ScrumMaster are fairly straightforward: At face value, all a ScrumMaster needs to do is facilitate the Scrum process and remove impediments. But being a great ScrumMaster, one who truly embodies the principles of servant-leadership and helps nurture a high-performing team, is much harder and more elusive.
In this second edition of his groundbreaking book, Geoff shares an updated collection of stories and practical guidance, drawn from 20 years of coaching Scrum teams that will guide you on your path to greatness.
In this book, you will learn:
- The skills and characteristics of great ScrumMasters
- How to generate, maintain, and increase engagement from the team
- How to increase the effectiveness of the Scrum meetings, such as retrospectives and daily scrums
- How to foster a more creative and collaborative team
- How to increase the performance of the team
- How to know when you are a successful ScrumMaster
Scrum Mastery is for practicing ScrumMasters who want to develop themselves into a great servant-leader capable of taking their teams beyond simple process compliance.
Mike Cohn, in his foreword for the book, said:
"Most books rehash well-trod territory and I don’t finish them any wiser. I am positive I will be referring back to this book for many years."
Roman Pichler said:
"I am thoroughly impressed with how comprehensive and well-written the book is. It will be indispensable for many people."

What if you can successfully coach anyone in 15, five, or even 60 seconds using one question? Sales Leadership makes delivering consistent, high-impact coaching easy. For busy, caring managers, this removes the pressure and misconception that, "Coaching is difficult, doesn't work, and I don't have time to coach." Since most managers don't know how to coach, they become part of the non-stop, problem-solving legion of frustrated Chief Problem Solvers who habitually do other's work, create dependency, and nourish the seed of mediocrity.

What if you can successfully coach anyone in 15, five, or even 60 seconds using one question? Sales Leadership makes delivering consistent, high-impact coaching easy. For busy, caring managers, this removes the pressure and misconception that, "Coaching is difficult, doesn't work, and I don't have time to coach." Since most managers don't know how to coach, they become part of the non-stop, problem-solving legion of frustrated Chief Problem Solvers who habitually do other's work, create dependency, and nourish the seed of mediocrity.

Good content - audio not so good
With just over 2 hours left, significant reduction in dictation speed. It’s not really correctable with the playback speed. Also, several changes in audio recording are very evident. It’s just no consistent. I find that quite annoying.

Excellent Book
The book had a lot of good insights that reinforced things we should know and do, but sometimes don't. Lots of managerial and leadership principles too. I even found myself pulling up a notepad to jot down a few things I wanted to revisit in my mind and practice later. I don't typically do that, but the book was that good.
