Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time
爭奪：用一半時間去做雙倍事情的藝術
“管理學的諾貝爾獎”Scrum創始人精華作品。響應時代變革的敏捷之路，如何用20%的時間創造80%的價值。
有一種神奇的管理方法：
HBO的熱劇《硅谷》將它搬上熒幕
通用電氣利用它加速實現了“數字行業公司”的轉型
Twitter利用它來開發各項新功能
它幫助美國國家公共廣播電台創新節目
助力美國聯邦調查局開發虛擬案件檔案系統
這套方法就叫作Scrum，被譽為“管理學的諾貝爾獎”，在全球掀起了一場敏捷革命。
“Scrum之父”、《Scrum》作者傑夫·薩瑟蘭博士開發了一套簡單的系統，讓團隊持續不斷地利用外部反饋信息去協調獨立思考的個體，實現團隊成員的自我組織和自我優化，採用這種新思維可以將工作效率提高12倍。
在項目管理中，我們通常會制定好詳細的計劃，對每一個階段都進行嚴格的評審，當前一階段的工作完成得足夠好，才進入下一步。這種流程進度緩慢，開發過程往往滯後於計劃，造成預算超支。並且製造出的產品也可能不符合用户變化的需求，或已經跟不上技術的發展。
為了規避這些缺陷，《Scrum》的作者薩瑟蘭博士發明了Scrum方法。
與自上而下的命令式工作流程不同，Scrum是一套具有不斷進化與自我修正能力的系統，讓團隊像機器人一樣根據外界反饋進行調整。這套系統強調團隊的高度透明性及密切的協同作業，通過精簡內部成員之間的信息流，提高效率，實現高水平的業績。
Scrum不僅是科技行業開發新軟件和新產品的主要方式，還能夠幫助你的公司改變固有的工作方式、創新方式、規劃方式以及思考方式。
The definitive account of the Scrum methodology from its co-creator and the CEO of Scrum, Inc., Jeff Sutherland.
Scrum is the revolutionary approach to project management and team building that has helped to transform everything from software companies to the US military to healthcare in major American hospitals. In this major new book its originator, Jeff Sutherland, explains precisely and step by step how it operates – and how it can be made to work for anyone, anywhere. Take the FBI attempt to digitize its records, for example. As with so many software projects the first attempt failed, having taken four years and cost over $400 million.Then the FBI turned to Scrum, and just over a year later unveiled a functioning system that cost less than a tenth of the first project and employed a tenth of the staff. And it's not just grand projects that Scrum can help with.
Every organisation, whatever its size, constantly has to come to grips with delivering a product or service on time and on budget. Scrum shows you how. It explains how to define precisely what it is that you are seeking to achieve, how to set up the team to achieve it, and how to monitor progress until the project is successfully completed. Filled with practical examples drawn from all types and organisation it will make you rethink the fundamentals of successful management – and show you how to get things done however everyday or ambitious, however small or large your organisation.
