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.

This is absolutely the best one.

The author has been able to highlight the contents of the audiobook very well. This audiobook causes me to profoundly make a few information investigations effectively. This is absolutely the best one.

Excellent audiobook.

Excellent audiobook. I really like it. The biggest reason to use an Agile Framework is that it provides the highest quality product at the best value in the shortest time.

This is one of the best audiobooks

This is one of the best agile & scrum introductions that I've listened to. I would recommend this audiobook for any layman looking to understand what it is, and what's the compelling business case for a scrum.

A fantastic quick listen.

A fantastic quick listen. Brought me in well with the stories and gave valid points at the end of each chapter. Some things were a little jagged and hard to consume like explanations for terminology I thought wasn't in the right spot. I enjoyed it in any case.

An excellent audiobook.

An excellent audiobook. Makes scrum relevant for many different activities. A little inadvertently repetitive but that just makes drills in the point. I guess it's more a collection of essays and stories than anything else.

This audiobook is great.

This audiobook isn't meant to teach you Scrum. Instead, it's meant to justify the art of Scrum itself, and convince you to use it. I've never implemented all of Scrum at my workplace, but the parts we do incorporate have dramatically improved productivity.

Highly recommended.

This audiobook is a fantastic introduction to Scrum. It focuses more on the "why" of Scrum rather than the "how", but does include a guide to begin implementing the process in the appendix. It's not meant to be the only Scrum audiobook you listen to.the author makes a great business case for Scrum, and although the last chapter of the audiobook can be seen as him showboating his approach, the practical examples such as eduScrum and the Valve discussion are neat.

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.

This audiobook was recommended.

This audiobook was recommended and given by my boss. The idea was to start learning and understanding scrum and it was a very nice start and introduction. Nice to listen and fast to understand.
