Managing Projects with Scrum: The Rules of Scrum is the third chapter of a nine-chapter book entitled Head First Agile. I have completed reading and reviewing this chapter.
“In Head First Agile, you’ll learn all about the ideas behind agile and the straightforward practices that drive it. You’ll take deep dives into Scrum, XP, Lean, and Kanban, the most common real-world agile approaches today. … This book also has everything you need to get certified, with 100% coverage of the PMI-ACP® exam.”
Managing Projects with Scrum
The Rules of Scrum
“The rules of Scrum are simple. Using it effectively is not so simple. Scrum is the most common agile methodology, and for good reason: the rules of Scrum are straightforward and easy to learn. Most teams don’t need a lot of time to pick up the events, roles and artifacts that make up the rules of Scrum. But for Scrum to be most effective, they need to really understand the values of Scrum and the Agile Manifesto principles, which help them get into an effective mindset. Because while Scrum seems simple, the way a Scrum team constantly inspects and adapts is a while new way of thinking about projects.”
Topics covered in Chapter 3: Managing Projects with Scrum: The Rules of Scrum include the following:
- Meet the Ranch Hand Games team
