Introduction For Book

When I think of agile or scrum the first thing that comes to mind is
effective, next is effective / efficient and next is development. We
could be developing software, product or concepts. Each one of these
words will struggle to adequately set meaningful context around what we
are doing without being limiting. Often our language is trapped by a
small set of limiting rules or held in a formless and therefore
meaningless.

This book will be treated as a collection of advanced topics on Scrum.
While many of the topics will be synergistic and even part of each
others context. We do not pretend to have a unified model. Instead we
will be pulling from what has worked for us in the context of solving
real world problems and attempt to capture those critical techniques
that make a difference.

This book will be setup with enough ground rules to go after these
advanced topics in scrum and provide real guidance that can at least
give shape to useful models that help the scrum practitioner.
