About this listen
Meet Scrum, the most used agile framework for project management worldwide!
This book is for those who work on projects and are dissatisfied with deadlines that are never met, with the low quality deliveries and with the team that never seems to be truly committed. It is for those who believe that it is possible to do "more and better" in projects, but do not know exactly how. It is for those who want to deliver value to their customers, developing more solutions and fewer meetings. Did you identify yourself? So this book is for you. "There was a period in my career that I felt frustrated, because no project seemed to go as I'd like. The revenue of the company I worked for depended on a project that we didn't know when it would be delivered, it was full of flaws, delayed for years and the team no longer believed that it would be possible to deliver it. It was thought to start again from scratch, but in reality the feeling was of giving up. But we did it and Scrum was an important part of that process. The goal with this book is to share that to help other companies achieve the same." - the author Specially written for project managers and team leaders, or for anyone who one day seeks such positions, but essentially for all those who want to deliver results and generate value in the companies they work for. In this book you will learn in a practical way how ... - how Scrum changed my career and the company I worked for forever; - understand the Scrum framework once and for all; - apply agile methods in your company; - train your team in agile methodologies; - inspect and adapt your development processes; - tools and processes to guarantee the quality of deliveries; - write software requirements in an agile and clear manner; - estimate software in an unconventional but very effective way; - prioritize backlog in an ego-proof way (because everything is urgent!); - refine your backlog so that the team is always working on what generates the most value; - increase the quality of development and reduce software defects; - monitor the progress of the project in a practical and visual way; - learn dynamics to teach Scrum to your colleagues; - learn how to hire agile professionals; - learn how to build a successful career in this market; - reasoning about the fundamental principles of being agile; - understand the main terms and acronyms of the Agile world; There are several techniques and reports of what works (and what doesn't) in terms of project management using agile methodologies, from the point of view of those who lived both sides: developer and project manager. Written by college professor Luiz Duarte, Agile Coach certified by Scrum.org (PSM-I and PSD-I), working with IT projects since 2006 and with more than a decade using Scrum to lead software projects of all sizes and technological platforms.Related to this topic

Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

Story
There's no such thing as a perfect guy, but Xavier Rush comes disastrously close. A gorgeous veterinarian giving Greek god vibes—all while cuddling a tiny kitten? Immediate yes. That is until Xavier opens his mouth and proves that even sculpted gods can say the absolute wrong thing. Like, really wrong. Of course, there’s nothing Samantha loves more than proving an asshole wrong . . . unless, of course, he can admit he made a mistake.

Story
Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager—the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident.

Story
To trace the history of the twenty-first century so far is to trace a history of unaffordability and shortage. After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, America has a national housing crisis. After years of limiting immigration, we don’t have enough workers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven’t built anything close to the clean-energy infrastructure we need. Ambitious public projects are finished late and over budget—if they are ever finished at all.
