Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time
by J. J. Sutherland, Jeff Sutherland
A very worthwhile read.
Every project involves discovery of problems and bursts of inspiration. Trying to restrict a human endeavor of any scope to color-coded charts and graphs is foolish and doomed to failure. That is not how people work and it is not how projects progress. It’s not how ideas reach fruition or how great things are made.
Scrum is based on the simple idea: When you start a project, regularly check to see if what you’re doing it’s heading in the right direction is actually what people want. Then, question whether what your doing can be improved. It’s and inspect and adapt cycle; every little while stop what you’re doing, review what you’ve done, and see if it’s what you should still be doing and how you might get better.
The Agile Manifesto declared the following values:
* People over processes
* Products that actually work over documenting what that product is supposed to do
* Collaborating with customers over negotiating with them
* Responding to change over following a plan
Scrum is the framework to put those values into practice.
- Planning is useful. Blindly following plan is stupid.
- Inspect and adapt.
- Fail fast so you can fix early.

PDCA: Plan, Do, Check, Act
Happy people are successful people.
...and they’re not happy because they’re successful, they’re successful because they’re happy.
Happiness is autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
