Scrum|The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time book by Jeff Sutherland summary and review

-


" Jeff Sutherland's Scrum book is about achieving twice the work in half the time. The key principles of Scrum involve doing twice the work in half the time and embracing the art of doing twice the work in half the time.


One of the main ideas in Scrum is to share all the facts you know with your team. Additionally, remember that 80% of success is hidden in just 20% of the work. When working with Scrum, avoid having more than three tasks at a time and ensure your team consists of 5-9 people, as this number is optimal for fostering diverse ideas. Increasing the team size can disrupt performance and mental space.


Maintain a clear goals list on the board, indicating what's done, what remains, and future projects. This helps everyone in the organization stay informed and engaged. Display your progress on a Scrum progress board that's visible to all workers. Always aim to involve experts from various fields for fresh perspectives.


Collect short daily statements from your team about the problems they're facing and ask for their proposed solutions. Prioritize shorter statements for quicker resolution. If you encounter a mistake, address it immediately to prevent delays. Don't forget to inquire about what would make your team members happy.


Focus on one thing that will have the most significant impact. Ensure there's a shared understanding of work among all team members, known as "lean UX." 

Estimating when a project will be finished can be uncertain, but we can reliably compare the difficulty or size of different tasks if we have some experience. That's why experts are valuable for projects; they have the experience to make these comparisons and judgments effectively.


Lastly, consider changing your position if you encounter difficulties, as your position holds your potential energy."

"Principles" book summary

  Summary of the book "Principles" by Ray Dalio. The author, Ray Dalio, converts his life decisions into algorithms and wants to live in a computer program-like style. He judges the basis of his decisions and tells us the methods. (Note: Soon, I will give examples of principles from my life.) The first thing is to slow down your thinking while making a decision, then write the rule, explaining why you are making this decision happen in this way. He writes that assessment rule and calls it a principle, and then checks the effect on other activities and refines it further by applying it to more activities. For example, I give you an idea from my life: Activity 1: I can only think smartly or work properly on my blog if I am laying down with a soft couch below my head. So this is the rule of my maximum performance. Now I check it further. Activity 2: I teach kids (tuition) while sitting on a sofa or chair. I applied the rule of my activity 1. Now I teach them by laying down, couc...

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference Summary and Review When the popularity of a thing, idea, or people's opinion is widely accepted and becomes famous, like magic, that critical point is called the tipping point (an abrupt change happens here). "Make a thing so good and addictive that masses who see it once are compelled to share it with the world" - Malcolm calls it the "stickiness factor." For example, the TV show "Sesame Street" repeatedly shows a film to children, and after finishing the show, children are asked what they remember (stickiness factor). Accordingly, they cut the scenes that are less interesting, resulting in a great product. For instance, in 1984, 80,000 fax machines were sold in America at a cost of $2,000 per machine, while R&D spent millions of dollars manufacturing them. Slow growth continued for three years until 1987 when the magic happened - enough people had bought the fax machines, and the tipp...
