Scrum is not just agility it’s also value

by Christopher J. Lee

This book offers an enhanced way to manage projects. While not exactly a new technique, Scrum, as a framework has gone relatively unnoticed—until now. Requirements are aggressively changing; they are forcing us to set aside known management protocols and bureaucracy to focus on the element of key the deliverable for the client.

By following the guidance in this book, you will gain a clear idea of the approach you need to take in order to effectively manage projects and adapt the framework to your company, department, or team. It should be mentioned that no methodology should be taken literally when applying its principles, but rather should be adapted so that the business benefits according to its specialty and the needs of its own clients.

I hope you can trust the concepts shared in the work, which are the product of the author’s and his colleagues’ professional experiences.
