About the Book

This book is based on a lot of experience and learning:

* Scrum trainer since 2008 (CST). And agile coach.

* 18+ years working with Scrum and implementations of Scrum

* I co-trained with Jeff Sutherland over 8 courses; and took Ken Schwaber's course.

* Worked with lots of other experts in this field.

* Learned a lot from my clients and my students, and their situations

These ideas should help you use Scrum better. The book should give you a clearer and more actionable idea about what Scrum is. The book should make you and your Team more effective. And enable you to deliver a better product to your customers. And have more fun!

NB. When you buy, you get all later updates for free.

And you can give me feedback. I'm listening!

You can only find out how good something is by trying it, and because of our 100% money back guarantee there's literally no risk to do so!

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)
