Practical Guide to Distributed Scrum

Software development organizations worldwide are embracing Agile software development principles as a way of rapidly delivering valuable features with consistently high quality.

A Practical Guide to Distributed Scrum offers an unprecedented view into how distributed teams can successfully implement and use Scrum, the leading framework for Agile software development. With tips, experiences and recommendations from over 1,084 Scrum Masters and team members from 30 countries, readers have access to a wealth of techniques that can maximize the potential of their globally-distributed teams.
