Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time

Sutherland's account of where Scrum came from and why it works, aimed at a general reader rather than a practitioner. He draws on the Toyota Production System, OODA loops and his own fighter pilot and research background to explain why short iterations and cross functional teams outperform sequential planning. Light on mechanics compared with a reference text, and useful mainly for the argument and the case histories.
