review 1: I read this book *after* getting my Professional Scrum Master I certification and found the content interesting mostly for the examples provided. The book seems to rely on the power of repetition, the simple process and the cadence a lot. The chapters are relatively short, most use a real life example to show how the scrum process changes not only the projects, but also the organisation around it to deliver more value in less or equal amounts of time.The second half of the book is made up of a number of appendices. These provide very useful management abstracts of the roles, the ceremonies and the values which Scrum is built upon.I didn't find contents very useful to learn how to do Scrum. It is a great way to understand what Scrum will change to your organisation, how you... more can embed it in the enterprise and what it will and will not deliver. Which seems logical since the prime audience for the book is the Management of a company or Project organisation.
review 2: Overly repetitive book with very little technical content. Same topics are discussed throughout the whole book over and over again with different phrasing. I guess this book is intended for upper management or something, but even they can understand scarce formalities of scrum without so many occurrences of the same idea. Authors were probably trying to expose readers to the rules of scrum from many different perspectives, but I find their style dull and superfluous. less
