Hi Piotr, allow me to mention “Scrum – A Pocket Guide: A Smart Travel Companion, 2nd Edition” by Gunther Verheyen.
Congratulations on a fantastic ahievement, @Piotr and thanks for sharing your awesome reading list.
I reinforce @Lars' view that Gunther Verheyen's book : Scrum - A Pocket Guide, would make a very worthwhile addition.
I still get asked for book recommendations for people preparing for PSM III and I think you've both just provided my aggregated list. Thank you
The Professional Scrum Team (The Professional Scrum Series) has been released a few days ago. At first sight very promising. I just read a chapter but I love this book already.
You immediately notice that the authors have lots of experience. They write about common problems that Scrum Teams have, propose solutions and give you questions to think about. Questions that I never thought about and that make you wonder ‘good question but how to find a solution ?’ For example about resolving conflicts and measuring success. Not for people that just started learning about the Scrum framework.
Thank you very much for your comment, Lars. It is great to hear that you like our book and that it helps you think about questions that otherwise might go unnoticed. That was exactly what Uwe, Kurt and I were trying to achieve.
If you still like the book after reading the remaining chapter it would be awesome if you could write a review on Amazon.
And if you have any feedback I am more than happy to hear it.
Thanks for everyone,i will next year try PSMIII
i hope this posts help me
