    Scrum for Hardware

    My first book: "Scrum for Hardware"

    I'm the author of Scrum for Hardware, the world's first significant publication of the topic. It contains the stories of the pioneers of SCRUM for HARDWARE: from Wikispeed to the first "Global Scrum for Hardware Gathering" and the "Agile Product Charter." It's divided into three parts: the first contains the stories, the second presents the method with many practical examples, and the third contains case studies implemented by the author.

    The book, released under the Creative Commons license BY-SA, is sold worldwide on Leanpub and Amazon. It includes a foreword by Joe Justice, founder of Wikispeed and inventor of eXtreme Manufacturing. Jeff Sutherland, co-author of Scrum, has endorsed it twice on Twitter.
