About the Book: Building on the success of Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time, co-written with his father and Scrum co-creator Jeff Sutherland, J.J. Sutherland returns with a book focused on execution. The Scrum Fieldbook is a master class on accelerating performance, packed with lessons from the field. Sutherland uses case studies from Scrum Inc.'s consulting work with organisations as varied as manufacturers, home renovation contractors, and fighter jet builders, showing how the framework adapts to any context. Readers are guided through the mechanics of Scrum: forming effective teams, prioritising a backlog, running daily stand-ups, and reviewing progress in short, iterative sprints that replace slow, meeting-heavy cycles. The tone is direct and no-nonsense, stripping away jargon in favour of clear, actionable advice road-tested at demanding organisations. Sutherland doesn't shy from failure, showing how teams stumble and recover, giving the book real authenticity. Whether the challenge is a stalled launch or a resistant culture, the book offers a repeatable method for turning chaos into measurable progress.
