Very helpful ideas and examples as I work on my teams role roadmap and strive to get our department aligned with industry standards. While one could argue professional scrum is not the most riveting content, the author did a great job of keeping each chapter fresh and thought provoking.

My team at work has (kinda) started using Scrum. And the director of IT wants us to go all-in on Scrum. And we do use Azure DevOps, so this seemed like a good book to read. I guess if you're looking to learn Scrum, and you're using Azure DevOps, this is a pretty good place to start. Not all of it was applicable to my situation, and I don't agree with 100% of the author's opinions, but I learned a good bit from this book.
It's reasonably well-written, as tech books go. Any book on project management or development methodology is going to be a bit dry, and I will admit to zoning out a bit at points while reading this. But it's not so dry that I couldn't get through it. (And it also doesn't make the mistake of trying to liven things up with "humor" that only makes it worse, as some tech books do.)
