dang, buddy, save some ego for the rest of us
If I had a nickel for every time he calls someone or something "stupid", I'd have at least $100. His ego rivals Kanye West and Donald Trump. Most of the book is "this is why I am the best" "this is why I know more than you" "if they listened to me, they'd still be in business" "if you don't apply SCRUM you're stupid". Like dang, buddy, save some ego for the rest of us. The "SCRUM System" he developed genuinely seems like it's helpful and applying it to our everyday work will be beneficial, which is why I gave it 2 stars. But every chapter he says "I'll explain more about SCRUM later", which is annoying considering I was reading this book to learn about SCRUM, not about the all-mighty Sutherlands achievements. The process seems efficient, the writing is obnoxious. If he had written a 2 page manual about applying SCRUM, he would have accomplished twice the work in half the time...
