Overview
This two-book paperback set pairs Jeff and J.J. Sutherland's international bestseller Scrum with its practical follow-up, The Scrum Fieldbook. Together they trace agile management from first principles to field-tested execution, giving managers, product owners, and team leads a complete toolkit for faster delivery. Scrum lays out the framework's roles, rituals, and mindset shift, while the Fieldbook shows how real organizations have applied it to solve production, innovation, and culture challenges at scale. It's a focused, practical duo for anyone ready to work smarter rather than harder, whether leading a small startup team or a global enterprise.
About the Books
Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time is Jeff Sutherland's foundational account of the framework he co-created, written with his son J.J. Sutherland. Drawing on decades of experience across software, healthcare, and government, Jeff explains how short, focused sprints, daily stand-ups, and relentless prioritization can dramatically increase output while reducing burnout and wasted effort. The book blends storytelling with practical instruction, walking readers through the roles of Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team, and showing how empirical process control replaces guesswork with measurable progress.
The Scrum Fieldbook picks up where the first book leaves off. Written solely by J.J. Sutherland, CEO of Scrum Inc., it moves from theory into real-world deployment, featuring case studies from companies including Bosch, 3M, Schlumberger, and Rio Tinto. Rather than restating the basics, the Fieldbook focuses on scaling Scrum across large, complex organizations, tackling the leadership, culture, and measurement challenges that arise once a team moves beyond a single pilot project. It offers concrete techniques for running better retrospectives, aligning stakeholders, and sustaining momentum long after the initial rollout. Read together, the two books give a reader both the "why" and the "how" of agile transformation: one builds the conceptual foundation, the other supplies the field-tested playbook for putting it into practice at scale. For professionals who want to move past agile buzzwords and actually change how their teams work, this set delivers a grounded, experience-based path forward.
