Annotation:

The book "The Elements of Scrum" received worldwide recognition and aroused interest around the world as perhaps the only software development manual that reads like a fascinating novel. The authors of the book are Chris Sims, an experienced Scrum trainer, a pioneer of experimental learning, and Hillary Louise Johnson, a writer and business journalist. Their joint work tells about the principles, practices and pitfalls of the Scrum methodology. The book is written in a living accessible language, full of memorable examples.

The book “The Elements of Scrum” begins with a detailed description of the work week spent in the Scrum-developers team. The following summarizes the history and origin of Scrum; this development model is compared with traditional methodologies. The authors provide a context that helps to understand how Scrum fits into the cultural and professional history of software development. Next, the authors explore the principles and practices set forth in the Agile Manifesto manifest. They are divided into components and are considered on real examples. As if the reader looks into the thoughts of the founders of Scrum and Agile, the theoretical foundations of these movements are described in such detail.

The book describes all the facets of the Scrum process, in particular: selecting a team, planning the flow of tasks and managing it. The material is presented in a memorable, clear, rich in examples of form that will be of interest to both beginners and experienced professionals who have long been familiar with these methodologies.

The final section of the book is devoted to auxiliary technical practices. In particular, it addresses development through testing and pair programming. With it, the reader will be easier to go to the direct use of Scrum.

The book "The Elements of Scrum" is used as a textbook in many US universities, in particular, at the University of California, Los Angeles, George Mason University, Arizona State University, New York State University, Wofford and Becker colleges. The book is translated into Chinese.
