Quotes by Gunther Verheyen (?)

“Continuously adhering to ‘just enough’ descriptions and designs of the work, i.e. leaving out unnecessary details, ensures that no excessive money and time are wasted if the item ultimately isn’t created, is implemented much later or in a different fashion.”
― Gunther Verheyen, Scrum: A Smart Travel Companion - A Pocket Guide

“Scrum Master, as the promoter of Scrum and self-organization, should consider how to help a team work out their problems themselves and offer any tools, trainings and insights on how best to do this.”
