Simple Read

Gives the basic principles and understanding Scrum in a clear and concise short read. I am not one that likes to read long books, especially text books for study. So this was a blessing. This gives me thr jump start to Scrum.

Worth the price for a reference

I used this book as a reference to break down the core principles Scrum and it worked very well. Succinct and clear!
