The Practical Guide to Optimizing Product Value through Better Teamwork with Scrum “Professional Scrum is hard, not because the ideas are hard, but because it requires persistence, focus, and dedication to not let the day-to-day realities get in the way. In this book, Peter, Uwe, and Kurt have provided a collection of materials to help the Scrum Team deliver value and feel happy doing it.” --Dave West, CEO and Product Owner, Scrum.org Teams and individuals find the rules of the Scrum Framework to be easy to describe but challenging to implement. The Professional Scrum Team helps you bring the Scrum Framework rules to life in your everyday work, optimizing both team and individual performance and creating more value.
Three leading Scrum experts bring together proven practices based on decades of real-life experience participating in, leading, and supporting Scrum Teams. They introduce a team as it starts out with Scrum and follow it as it gains hard-won practical experience, gradually mastering the intense collaboration that Scrum demands.
As you share the team's experience--facing and overcoming realistic challenges--you'll discover better ways to work together, enhance your practices, leverage tools, continuously improve, and deliver functionality in ever-shorter cycles. This guide is for anyone who works with Scrum Teams or wants to become more effective as a Scrum Team member or leader.

Good and practical content in the book. However the format of the book is poor. Flimsy pages that might rip any minute. I had toilet paper that was thicker.
Anyone new to Scrum will fine good advice here, those with years of experience may find it a roadmap to all their previous team and organization dysfunctions. The book is layed out with small sections of problems statements followed by a few paragraphs of solutions. My tabs are on pages 7, 21, 70 & 178.
Kind of repetitive, but it did contain useful advice about working with Scrum inside a culture that isn't necessarily tolerant of the principles of scrum.
