The Scrum Fieldbook

_______________________

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SCRUM

Do you never get as much done as you need to?

Sometimes, even the most important projects can feel painstakingly slow. But it doesn't have to be this way. In his international bestseller Scrum, J.J. Sutherland introduced a simple, revolutionary tool used by Google, Amazon and the FBI to turbo-charge the output of every team. He called it the Scrum method.

Now, Sutherland returns with a step-by-step guide to using this revolutionary system at any level of any company. With its emphasis on rapid innovation, no-bullshit meetings and quick-fire decision-making, Scrum will transform your productivity - starting today.

PRAISE FOR THE SCRUM METHOD

'Every business needs a methodology for getting stuff done, for successful collaboration and scalable management techniques. Scrum is the answer.' Entrepreneur

'The project management method known as Scrum may be the most widely deployed productivity tool among high-tech companies. On a mission to put this tool into the hands of the broader business world for the first time, Jeff Sutherland succeeds brilliantly.' Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup

Reviews

Entertaining and informative.

—— The Economist

Fast, fluent and persuasive. For anyone interested in a clear-eyed overview of what is happening now, and what that might mean in future, this is as good an analysis as you could wish to read.

—— Financial Times

Few are better positioned to illuminate the vagaries of this transformation than Galloway, a tech entrepreneur, author and professor at New York University's Stern School. In brisk prose and catchy illustrations, he vividly demonstrates how the largest technology companies turned the crisis of the pandemic into the market-share-grabbing opportunity of a lifetime.

—— New York Times

Scott is a genius at engaging an audience in an intelligent, thoughtful, sometimes snarky and often humorous manner.

—— Huff Post

If there is a blunter, more opinionated, faster-talking expert on the internet than Scott Galloway, I haven't come across him. Or her.

—— Fortune

Invaluable advice for navigating the complex freelance world

—— Caroline Norbury, CEO, Creative England

Alison's experiences as both a freelancer and an advisor shine throughout this book - an indispensable, easy to read guide to freelancing

—— Carl Reader, small business expert and author of The Startup Coach

Alison Grade demystifies what it means to be a freelancer and helps the reader decide if a freelance career is for them. A very useful guide for anyone contemplating a career in the creative industries

—— Barbara Broccoli

Oh, how I wish I'd had this book 10 years ago! Cate gives both the sympathetic hug and the firm shake by the shoulders that so many of us need to navigate the world of work right now. It's hilarious and helpful with so many on-point insights that you'll wonder if she's been reading your Slack messages (she hasn't)

—— Lauren Bravo, author of How To break Up With Fast Fashion

Fearless and funny! If you feel like work is getting or letting you down Cate is here to give you a hug and offer you practical advice. All of our careers are now full of change and uncertainty and Cate's book will help you to take control and look after rather than lose your mind!

—— Sarah Ellis, author of the Sunday Times bestselling book The Squiggly Career

This is a useful, smart, thoughtful and beautifully written exploration of a subject that affects us all, but we know so little about... I do not use this word lightly but Cate's brilliant book is GENUINELY EMPOWERING!

—— Daisy Buchanan, author of How to be an Adult and Sisterhood

I wish I'd read it before ever entering an office and I 100% hope anyone who ever has to manage me reads it

—— Flo Perry, author of How to Have Feminist Sex

Cate Sevilla is well placed to give advice on how to survive the ups and downs in any workplace

—— The Irish Post

Does well to remind readers of the action that can be taken to reduce stress and be happier in our jobs

—— Financial Times book of the month

This is the only professional handbook I want or need...Reading her book makes it feel like you're sat across from a friend you can tell anything to before leaving with multiple life-changing revelations -- including how lucky you are to have Cate Sevilla in your life

—— Anne T. Donahue, author of Nobody Cares

I can't think of a better time than the darkness of a covid winter to sit down with this wonderful book and re-assess your relationship to work. Cate Sevilla has a wisdom about the working world that is rare in its depth and sensitivity. She can teach you how to fix a bad work situation--or to spot when it's time to walk away. Her book will teach you how to survive at work without sacrificing your soul - from dealing with bad communication, awful managers, and impending burnout, to setting boundaries and getting organised. Everyone who works has to read this book

—— Hannah Jewell, Washington Post

It's funny and smart and incisive and smashes every narrative we're fed as workers (and women). And it's way beyond being an essential book on work culture; it's an essential feminist text. The women who read this - employees, managers, wherever they are in the structure - will be changed by it. It's nothing short of radical

—— Hannah Jewell, Washington Post

A vivid portrait of clashing Silicon Valley egos

—— Best Books of the Year: Business , Financial Times

Officially, this is the tale of the photo-sharing app Instagram, but it's also a wider story of Silicon Valley - the fragile egos, the feuds, the deals done around fire pits . . . Mark Zuckerberg is the book's sometimes cartoonish villain, ending staff meeting with the cry: "Domination!"

—— Business Books of the Year , SUNDAY TIMES

No Filter is a topical and well-reported account of the rise of Instagram and its takeover by Facebook. But it also tackles two vital issues of our age: how Big Tech treats smaller rivals and how social media companies are shaping the lives of a new generation.

—— Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FINANCIAL TIMES

Bloomberg reporter Sarah Frier chronicles the rise of photo-sharing social network Instagram, from when it was still a location-based app named "Burbn" to the ad-driven juggernaut it is today . . . Frier deftly streamlines from multiple interviews with some of the most high-profile executives, venture capitalists, and most-followed celebrities on Instagram

—— The 10 Best Business Books of 2020 , Fortune

Congressional documents may have told us why Mark Zuckerberg thought he needed to buy Instagram, but No Filter is the inside story of the company that Facebook actually bought. Sarah Frier's book is the definitive account that bridges the gaps between the company Instagram was born as, the company that eventually sold to Facebook for $1 billion, and the company we know today. The intrigue of this origin story will only grow as the status of Instagram - as a brand within Facebook and a player in our daily lives - is sure to change in the decade ahead.

—— Favourite Business Books of 2020 , YAHOO FINANCE

Utterly brilliant . . . It is so fascinating because it works at two levels: there's the personal story of these two founders making it up as they go along . . . and then there's the bigger story of Silicon Valley itself, and the unstoppable pressure to grow and go viral . . . [Frier] explores how Instagram changed society in terms of influencers, and also in terms of what it does to us, when we see these heavily filtered images of perfection in other people's lives - and this is really worth thinking about.

—— Extraordinary Business Book Club

Examines the all-pervasive impact of Instagram and what it says about today's society.
