By the man who helped invent the red-hot management process known as "Scrum", Scrum unveils what's wrong with the way we currently do work, and what sort of simple set of principles, applied in the right series, can accelerate production and quality up to 1,200 percent. Scrum (which gets its name from the formation in rugby in which the whole team locks its forearms to get control of the ball) is the reason that Amazon . com can launch a fresh feature on its website every day. It's why the Red River Army Depot in Tx was able to move out armored Humvees 39 times faster than before. It's the way the FBI finally created an enormous terrorist-tracking database. The explanation for the fast embrace of Scrum across so many disciplines is easy: organizations that use Scrum typically double production and quality - and sometimes the increase is often as much as 12-flip. But the promise of Scrum as a task management tool stretches significantly beyond business. Much as Atul Gawande performed in The Checklist Manifesto, Sutherland shows how this unique method of problem handling and team search engine optimization has nearly general application. At lower part, Scrum is about coming together with your team, considering what you're doing, and course correcting. It may be the main element to solving some of this era's most intractable problems.
