About this audiobook
Scrum master guide and agile project management handbook for real-world delivery. Stop reading theory and start running sprints that actually finish on time. The Agile Field Guide by Dominic Jovanovic is the practical, hands-on companion for project managers, product owners, and team leads who want to master ceremonies, estimation, and stakeholder communication without the fluff. Whether you're a beginner learning the basics of user stories or a pro fine-tuning velocity, this book covers it all: sprint planning, daily stand-ups, retrospectives, release planning, and proven techniques to keep your delivery on track when chaos hits. No academic jargon—just clear steps, real examples, and checklists you can apply immediately. Unlike other guides that leave you with more questions, this one gives you the confidence to adapt Scrum to your team's reality. If you liked The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates (One World Essentials) by [placeholder] or The Other Emily by [placeholder], you'll appreciate the no-nonsense approach here. What's inside:
Ceremonies demystified: sprint reviews, backlog grooming, and more
Estimation techniques: story points, t-shirt sizing, and planning poker
Roles and responsibilities for Scrum Master, Product Owner, and team
Handling scope creep, blockers, and difficult stakeholders
Real-world templates for sprint backlogs, burndown charts, and velocity tracking
This is the book you'll keep on your desk, not on a shelf. Get your team unstuck and deliver value faster—one sprint at a time.
