Books for newly minted Scrum Masters

imageYou’ve just finished your Scrum Master training and to start exploring some issues we didn’t have time to cover? I spent the afternoon putting together a list of 29 books that I think you will find interesting. As part of the process I decided to experiment with doing the list as a mind map.

Let me know if this was helpful or if there was a key book I missed. In addition give some ideas of how you might have presented this.

    Great list, really. I read a few in that list and many are already on my “next to read”. I’m glad you recommend them!

    A book i think should be on the list is scrum and xp from the trenches written by Henrik Kniberg.

    Yes its a good book. Its not on the list because its part of the pre-class reading in my CSM course, so I assume people know about if they’ve not already read it.

    Cheers

    Very nice list! Thanks! Another one worth consideration from an HR perspective is Dan Pink’s “Drive”. It’s not specifically Agile, but it’s helpful in unlearning the traditional competition-based performance management practices that are so ingrained into most organizations’ cultures.

    Agreed Dan Pink’s Drive is a well worth reading. Incidentally I find the videos contain most of what the book covers.

    Cheers

    Tanks for the great list! Our startup is learning Agile and Scrum and can always use good pointers on how things could be done. I love the MindMap!
