It makes sense. No need for complicated documents and dependency diagrams as in SSADM, yet rigorous enough to get things done and stick to the requirements (even if they tend to change during development as they inevitably do).There's no discussion about the disadvantages and inherent pitfalls, but that's not necessary in this short treatise. I imagine it's something one would have to look into when working with Scrum in practice. Even for a large-scale project, it would probably be useful to break it down into smaller projects and use Scrum as a way to manage the development cycle.What seems to be the most salient feature of Scrum is that developers work in small teams of around 7-9 people, with regular but highly focused planning and status meetings for each iteration of the product life cycle; and this keeps the communication tight and clear between members. And the client gets to see the progress milestones more frequently also, with real working results at each iteration. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A useful quick guide *by M***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2017* I didn't give it 5 stars as its a brief guide. But it is well structured and will enable you to quickly get up to speed on key terms. One of the biggest challenges you face is challenging the "of course I understand what Agile is" mostly this is a lie and this is where it all goes wrong. You need a common understanding in your team. If you don't use a book like this, it will all go horribly wrong and quickly! A good book and highly recommended for the high level. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very very good introduction to understanding scrum methodology *by C***3 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 September 2015* The book gives a very brief introduction to scrum. Although very short, it captures the core message of scrum methodology. It clearly describes the structure, function, and expectations of the team and the way of working. I wish the authors include one fo example to give the book some practical visualisation. Overall, it was an amazing quick read. I am going to buy The Elements of Scrum. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52495149-scrum-a-breathtakingly-brief-and-agile-introduction](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/52495149-scrum-a-breathtakingly-brief-and-agile-introduction) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
