Acknowledgments

I want to thank many people for making this book possible, but it’s impossible to list them all here. I especially want to thank my wife for always supporting me and giving me honest and candid feedback. I want to thank Prowareness for giving me an awesome job that allows me to write books. I want to thank all the people whose quotes appear at the start of each section.

I want to thank Scrum.org and Dave West for writing a preface and adding this book to the Professional Scrum Series. My thanks go also to Kurt Bittner for reviewing my book, improving the English, and especially brainstorming with me on the overall idea and theme of the book.

I also want to thank Selina Sandberg for making the awesome visuals and illustrations.

Last but not least, I want to thank the dozens of customers and clients over the decade who gave feedback, brainstormed, and asked hundreds of questions. Thanks to all of these people, I could experiment, try, fail, learn, improve, and discover all of these tools!
