Feed Description: SCRUM is an Agile Software Development Process. Jeff Sutherland was the first person to apply the concepts of Scrum to software development at Easel in 1993. Working with Ken Schwaber, he formulated Scrum into a formal process that was presented at OOPSLA'96. Jeff and Ken extended and enhanced it at many software companies and IT organizations. In 1995, Mike Beedle started Scrumming and worked with Linda Rising and others to publish the PLOP Scrum pattern in 1998.
This book holds a remarkable ranking of 602 on Amazon's best seller list and gets five star reviews. Timothy Lord adds a great review on Slashdot:
"Anyone and everyone on Slashdot probably knows that business-driven software development efforts all too often end up as a mess. After a number of years of observation, research, and fine tuning, Ken Schwaber and Mike Beedle have released a book that makes a subtle but vital revelation about the nature of software projects and how to better run them. Learning what Scrum is and how to practice it is not all that profound. However, sitting back and realizing why Scrum works and how it addresses the fundamental flaws of the last 20 years of software engineering is. This book could be viewed as the "why" component to all of Extreme Programming's "how."
