Scrum Is A JourneyThe author, Gunther Verheyen, has succeeded to compile aconcise, yet complete and passionate reference about Scrum. Thebook demonstrates his core view that Scrum is about a journey, ajourney of discovery and fun. He designed the book to be a helpfulguide on that journey.The book combines some rare characteristics: It describes Scrum in its entirety, yet places it in a broadercontext (of past and future). It focuses on Scrum, in a way that truly supports the reader.
