Acknowledgements

We both owe a huge debt of gratitude to Ken Schwaber and the Scrum.org staff. Because of Ken’s vision and the Scrum.org team, we both have joyful careers that give us the opportunity to help people and organizations all over the world use Scrum to make the world a better place. Thank you Ken and the Scrum.org team.

We want to thank our tech reviewers for their invaluable help: Jesse Houwing, Jeff Langr, Amitai Schleier, Lucas Smith, Wilbert Seele, and Rich Visotcky. We’d also especially like to thank our editor, Dawn Schanafelt, for her help and support during the creation of this book. She made both of us sound far smarter and more articulate than we deserve.

Working with Pragmatic Bookshelf has been a great experience. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on this project with Andy, Dave, and their amazingly talented team. Without them this book would not have been possible.

—Ryan and Todd
