Firstly, huge respect and great appreciation to the author S G V Aster for writing a book on this topic.
This book is an exquisite work by the author to imbibe within its reader the power of self-worth, self-confidence even self-improvement, as we all know, success is the by-product of goal-setting and a sincere effort towards achieving these goals.
As the title implies, the scrum master is the master of scrum, who ensures the scrum framework is followed. Scrum has a clearly defined set of roles and rituals that should be followed and the scrum master works with each member of the scrum team to guide and coach the team through the scrum framework. It was an informative read filled with activities which will keep you awake (contrary to other self-help books) . It was a good and interesting read . This book acts like that of a friend of yours who always encourages you to do your best, and the use of flow charts and diagrams make it more engaging. This was a short read and this is a type of book which I can read whenever or wherever I am.
Overall, I loved the book and strongly recommend fellow readers to give it a try. And lastly, I'd thank the man who edited this cover, else it would have taken more or less months to come across the read, post finishing the other books of my collection.
Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review.

The author has brilliantly penned down the recipe for success that every individual needs to follow. The book provides a detailed insight into the dos and don'ts of starting as a scrum master, with practical tips and suggestions that are easy to understand and implement.
Three structured topics can be discussed in the standup meeting as the key agenda. Each developer needs to update on all the 3.
•What did you do yesterday?
•What will you do today?
•Are there any obstacles hindering your progress?
The book re-energizes how to up your game and find your joy- it is one kind of self-improvement guide for each individual or age group out there !
In my opinion, it's highly recommended.
