    “Book Descriptions: The basics of being a ScrumMaster are fairly straightforward: Facilitate the Scrum process and remove impediments. But being a great ScrumMaster, one who truly embodies the principles of servant-leadership and helps move a team to the high performance levels possible with Scrum, is much harder and much more elusive. In his over ten years of coaching numerous Scrum teams, the highly-respected and experienced Scrum coach Geoff Watts has identified patterns that separate a good ScrumMaster from a great one. In this book, he not only illustrates these patterns through stories of his own experiences and those of the many Scrum teams he has encountered but offers practical guidance for you on your own path to greatness.

    In this book you will learn:
    The skills and characteristics of great ScrumMasters
    How to generate, maintain and increase engagement from the team
    How to increase the effectiveness of the Scrum meetings, such as retrospectives and daily scrums.
    How to foster a more creative and collaborative team
    How to increase the performance of the team
    How to know when you are a successful ScrumMaster\

    Scrum Mastery is for practicing ScrumMasters who want to develop themselves into a great servant-leader capable of taking their teams beyond simple process compliance.

    Comments on the book

    Mike Cohn, in his foreword for the book, said:

    "Most books rehash well-trod territory and I don’t finish them any wiser. I am positive I will be referring back to this book for many years"

    Roman Pichler, author of Agile Product Management with Scrum: Creating Products That Customers Love said:

    "I am thoroughly impressed with how comprehensive and well-written the book is. It will be indispensable for many people"

    Jean Tabaka, Agile Fellow, Rally Software:

    "Geoff brings us a personal and inspired peak into what truly moves us from good to great: great in how we serve; great in how we lead; great in how we create mastery in our teams and organizations; and, great in how we recognize the impediments to our own growth to greatness. Scrum mastery is a skill that can be honed and Geoff gives us rich tools to sharpen our craft."”
