Scrum: a Arte de Fazer Dobro de Trabalho na Metade do Tempo

Jeff Sutherland, a co-creator of Scrum, explains how the method lets teams finish projects in half the time. He draws on his years as a fighter pilot and software developer to describe sprints, daily stand-ups, backlogs, product owners, and retrospectives. He argues that most organizations waste effort on long plans and unnecessary meetings, and shows how short cycles, visible progress, and constant feedback improve results across fields beyond software, from building cars to running schools.

Managers, developers, and team leaders who want a plain-language introduction to Scrum will find practical steps and real examples. Anyone struggling with missed deadlines or overloaded teams will come away with specific rules to try, such as limiting work in progress and measuring team velocity.

Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded and clear-cut; an easy read.
