Businesses like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple use Scrum to drive incredibly fast innovation, laser focus on customers, and continuous improvement, and to decrease decision times in order to reshape the world. <p/> Scrum is the most utilized Agile framework. In recent years, its use has exploded across the corporate world, far beyond its software and technology roots. <p/> J. J. Sutherland and the team at Scrum Inc. have dramatically improved performance at global banks, utility providers, medical device manufacturers, mining giants, and firms on the cutting edge of genetic science. Scrum has helped companies large and small thrive in the age of disruption. <p/> In Sutherland's first book, the national bestseller <i>Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time</i>, coauthored with his father, Jeff, the co-creator of Scrum, he laid out the Scrum framework used by almost all of today's leading technology companies. <p/> In <i>The Scrum Fieldbook, </i> he draws on his firm's extensive experience in the field to take leaders, managers, and employees deeper into the specific challenges and new opportunities organizations face in an Agile transformation. He shows how the Scrum framework can be successfully applied to any project in any industry, from automobile manufacturers in the U.S. and Europe to nonprofits in Africa, from home renovation contractors in Minnesota to gas exploration companies in South America, from fighter plane builders in Sweden to U.S. Navy Special Forces teams in regions of the world we can't mention.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Scrum is the way high-tech companies have worked for decades.
