So You Want To Be A Scrum Master?
So You Want To Be A Scrum Master?
About the Book
This book is the result of a Hackathon. Whilst the devs were busy hacking code the Agile Community Of Interest decided to hack around on a book.
This book is a collaborative effort by the community to provide something free, and hopefully valuable, to the wider agile community. We wrote this book for new Scrum Masters, or those planning on tackling the Scrum Master career.
Our goal was to ship an eBook to LeanPub in 48 hours. We achieved it and you're reading it now. We appreciate your support and we really do hope you enjoy the book. We certainly enjoyed creating it for you.
