Make scrum work for your team

Among the various agile techniques, scrum is particularly well-suited to the types of organizations that develop products such as websites and mobile software. The focus on developing cohesive, modular, measurable features that can be estimated relatively, tracked easily, and that may need to adapt quickly to changing market conditions makes scrum particularly appropriate for these types of projects.

However, it can sometimes be difficult to see exactly how scrum might work in a real-world team. In Chapters 7, 8 and 9 of Scrum: Novice to Ninja, M. David Green walks you through the process of developing a typical story, and then follows that story though a sprint, showing hwo scrum can work in a web team. You'll also gain insight in how to apply scrum in your team, and some pointers to troubleshoot the typical problems that arise as teams use scrum.
