    • Simple Read
Gives the basic principles and understanding Scrum in a clear and concise short read. I am not one that likes to read long books, especially text books for study. So this was a blessing. This gives me thr jump start to Scrum.

    • Good start
It's a good start to scrum terminology and getting an intro to the topic. Definitely not used as the only source for the Csm. Looking for more in depth info for next phase of studying

    • Requires Prior Knowledge of Scrum
Alas, I hate to be _that_ guy, but, frankly, this book can really only be considered to be of little or no value to an actual Scrum newbie, and I'd hate to see someone else buy it based on the other reviews, and then be as disappointed as I was. I puzzle at the other reviews, in fact, since my impression is so profoundly different from all of the ones to-date. Find something else, if you know nothing about Scrum and are trying to become familiar, or if you are looking for a book with which to introduce someone else to the topic. The book fails to provide value for three reasons.: 1.) Rather than _explain_ Scrum, the author has really only [partially] _defined_ Scrum. Scrum is fully defined elsewhere on the Internet, for free, and, probably, better. 2.) The definitions are usually self-referential or tautological. If I don't already know what "transparency" means, for example, saying that it "makes things transparent" will help me less than is probably intended. 3.) The sentence construction, far from being the sort of plain that I was expecting, was a rather more exotic form of plain than I only come across exceedingly rarely in everyday usage. As a result of these three failings, I just don't think the outcome of reading this book for a newbie is any sort of confidence that he or she understands the first thing about how to do Scrum, which is why someone would be looking for a book like this in the first place, I think. This is a shame, as the author has a lot of enthusiasm, and clearly wants to educate the reader. ... show more

    • Does What It Says!
When I applied at a certain Fortune 500 company one of the questions I was asked at the interview was how well I knew SCRUM. Well, sure, I'd heard of it but did I know much? No. But I wanted that job. So I fibbed a little and said I'd been using SCRUM for years. Once the interview was over, the first thing I did was search Amazon for SCRUM books. This one stood out to me. After downloading Scrum for Newbies I read through the book in just a matter of minutes. Sure enough, when I was called back in for a 2nd interview, they focused on my knowledge of SCRUM. Armed with what I just read, I aced that interview and was offered a position on the spot. Thank you Jeremy Wilson! ... show more

    • Good as an introduction
It accomplishes its purpose as an introduction. To improve the book I would include 1. Some chart of the process would have been nice, 2. A comparison to the waterfall method. 3. One or two examples
