The Scrum Field Guide will give students skills and confidence to learn Scrum rapidly and successfully. Long-time Scrum practitioner Mitch Lacey identifies major challenges associated with early-stage Scrum adoption, as well as deeper issues that emerge after companies have adopted Scrum, and describes how other organizations have overcome them. Students will learn how to gain “quick wins” that build support, and then use the flexibility of Scrum to maximize value creation across the entire process.
