Informative but disjointed

Repetitive but not necessarily in a bad way. Good intro to the SCRUM methodology. Highly disjointed. Does not feel like a cohesive whole. appears to be based off of a series of blog posts that could have used more massaging into a book format.

A comperhensive intro

I am a SCM noy for a long time . I needed to refresh the basics . The book did the job .
1. Very clear
2.comperhensive
3.organized

decent introduction to scrum concepts

This book was easy to follow. If you are already familiar with Scrum, you may want to seek other options. this book provides a very "bare bones" guide to what scrum is and is definitely for beginners.

Average content but repetitive and poorly edited

For a complete scrum beginner the content in this book could be somewhat useful. The book is quite repetitive and most of the second half of the book seems redundant or as a minimum very poorly edited.

Useful content, bad delivery.

Very useful and illustrative text to quickly get the hang of Scrum. There is a lot of repetition but that ultimately helps clarify and retain.
However, the narrator speaks in a robotic way inserting pauses where they don’t belong and using very confusing intonation. It sounds like someone reading without thinking and not caring the slightest bit about meaning.

Very well done and surprisingly engaging!

I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in learning the basics of scrum methodology.

Best SCRUM review book for starting a new PM role

Just started a new PM role and read this after my first week. It is a great refresher on Agile methodology and gives great insight on managing the team, the sprint, the backlog, etc.

HIGHLY recommended before starting any new PM role.

I loved It

The books go into the early years of development of programming being unsuccessful due to overemphasis on pre-planning and not working with customers to ensure their needs were being met throughout the development process.

According to my expectations

This book was easy to understand. This book has helped me grasp the concept of agile/scrum. I really liked the FAQ and final thoughts as it answered a lot of questions I had pertaining to the book.

I have listened to this audiobook.

I have listened to this audiobook. The authors very well presented the audiobook in front of us. The audiobook fascinated me every single page. I am very much interested in listening to his explained audiobooks. I would like to recommend this audiobook to everyone.

One of the best Scrum books I’ve listed to

I almost didn’t purchase this as there is a grammatical error in the title (an apostrophe in a plural?!) and the subtitle is pure click bait. However, I’m glad I took the risk. This is a straightforward, practical insight onto the what, why, and how of Scrum. Alongside Jeff Sutherland’s introductory Scrum book this is a very good nuts and bolts complement.

Good Basic Knowledge

It breaks everything down and gives key points for Agile Scrum managing. Listen and take notes you could be very successful. I reviewed this book at a promotional discount for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Awesome Audio Book

This is a great little book about Scrum basics and agile project management. If you aren't familiar, Scrum is basically a framework for completing complex projects. This book teaches you where scrum and agile project management is all about and how to use it.

This audiobook was very easy to listen

This audiobook was very easy to listen to and understand. This audiobook gives an exceptionally essential clarification! I that really Impressive, it was well packaged and arrived very quickly! the author did a great job!

This audiobook is an easy listen

This audiobook is an easy listen and easy-to-follow I highly recommend it, you're not in the dictionary every third word you can understand what you're listening and enjoy it at the same time.

Overall a great intro audiobook!

For someone who has not much idea in the scrum, this serves as a good overview of the basic principles of Scrum. The examples and explanations are concise and easy to digest. Overall a great intro audiobook!

Understandable book.

Even if you don’t like the author’s tone, I think that everyone should at least be aware of this “philosophy”. This is a simple method for being more productive at everything.

Excellent listen.

Excellent listen. The author explained the concepts in a straightforward manner that made it easy to understand. I have already started using Scrum!

Recommend this to anyone

Incredibly inspiring and really helps in getting your team motivated and productive. Recommend this to anyone in any industry. I'm half thinking of suggesting my team does the haka war dance in standup like all blacks!

Interesting book.

The author tells so many interesting stories from his experiences that you'll buy his audiobook just for those stories! And also he gives a very convincing message about how the Scrum framework can help so many kinds of industries because it's how you frame the questions and think through the problems.
