Listened to this audiobook because I wanted to hear more about how employers view Scrum/Agile skills for project managers. This author thinks they are separate and with often competing methodology, which I did find useful to see if I feel like reading more books on the topic at this time.
Decent resume/job searching advice if you haven't already read up on that.
The audiobook has a squeaky/squawking sound that might be his parrot.
