About the Book

Designed around the classic Scrum sprint, this 10-Day Challenge provides interested technologists, and agilists with approachable actions to start owning their practice of the agile mindset. Each day is designed to allow you to grow in small steps taking 15-30 minutes a day, ideal for working it into a busy work schedule.

Not all growth is created equal. Practice trumps lecture, especially for the agile mindset. To practice a mindset, you must practice thinking in that mindset. This challenge explores the trade-offs highlighted in the Agile Manifesto, book-ended by the Scrum pillars of Inspection and Adaptation. How far can you get in 10 Days?

      About the Author

      Daniel Scheufler

      Daniel Scheufler is a Principal Consultant at Improving with experience in ECommerce, TeleMedicine, and of course Oil and Gas. As an Electrical Engineer turned Software Developer, He prides himself on highly disciplined development leading to more effective products and processes. He is a problem-solver at heart and leverages this strength in applying industrial theory to the challenges of software development. Among the key challenges facing development is the communication gap. So Daniel has taken to writing, public speaking, and consulting to help bridge the gap and demystify the technology our world depends on. When not engaged in tackling the gap, or coding, you'll find Daniel playing with his five children, reading, or tinkering whether in the woodshop or in a computer.
