FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SCRUM 
 
Do you never get as much done as you need to? 
 
Sometimes, even the most important projects can feel painstakingly slow. But it doesn't have to be this way. In his international bestseller Scrum, J.J. Sutherland introduced a simple, revolutionary tool used by Google, Amazon and the FBI to turbo-charge the output of every team. He called it the Scrum method. 
 
Now, Sutherland returns with a step-by-step guide to using this revolutionary system at any level of any company. With its emphasis on rapid innovation, no-bullshit meetings and quick-fire decision-making, Scrum will transform your productivity - starting today. 
 
 
PRAISE FOR THE SCRUM METHOD

'The project management method known as Scrum may be the most widely deployed productivity tool among high-tech companies. On a mission to put this tool into the hands of the broader business world for the first time, Jeff Sutherland succeeds brilliantly.' Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup
