Scrum for the Rest of Us
I had the pleasure to work with The Braintrust Group and review their book to provide feedback on it awhile back. It has now been published up on Amazon. I defiantly would recommend this book for anyone new or experienced with Scrum. It has a lot of interesting tips and real world problems/solutions as well as pitfalls to look out for. I have to promote since my names in the book :) Scrum for the Rest of Us! by Brian M Rabon
