Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time
Jeff Sutherland
Productivity / Teamwork / Agile
Scrum is more than a framework—it's a mindset shift. Jeff Sutherland, co-creator of Scrum, explains how the traditional way of managing projects is fundamentally broken. Through real-world stories (from fighter pilots to startups to the FBI), he shows how Scrum can help teams become radically more productive and adaptive.
What makes this book stand out is its clarity and directness. It’s not just for software teams—it’s for anyone looking to reduce waste, increase collaboration, and deliver value faster.
Work in small sprints – Short cycles with fast feedback outperform long-term planning.
Inspect and adapt – Continuous improvement is baked into the process.
Transparency, ownership, and focus – The Scrum pillars drive high-performance teams.
Multitasking is a myth – Focus on fewer things, done well and fast.
Velocity > effort – Measure progress by working solutions, not hours spent.
