I’m not a huge Scrum fan, but I do realize that most of us are doing some form of Scrum & that’s often going badly. Ryan & Todd’s book is an antidote to that—essential reading for all Scrum practitioners.

After training and modeling with 7 different teams over the last 4 weeks, I strongly feel the difference between team cultures with camera feed on by default and a wall of black squares with maybe names. The quality of the outcome is strongly correlated, as is my happiness.

@agilebj @TShootingAgile @douglassquirrel @benjaminm @LeadSmarter "It takes effort" is really important.
