InfoQ Book: Scrum Checklists

by Deborah Hartmann Preuss on Nov 02, 2006 |

SPRiNT-iT and InfoQ have partnered to provide a new resource for Scrum teams: a downloadable quick-reference filled with basic definitions and checklists, intended to give trained teams confidence in accomplishing their first Sprints. SPRiNT-iT coaches, including Scrum Trainer Boris Gloger, have abstracted the basics from the major Scrum books and added their collective experience to produce the Scrum Checklists. This compact collection of checks and actions will enable team members to facilitate all Scrum Meetings and create the Scrum artifacts. Teams can use the blank space on the back of each checklist to document individual conventions and specific adaptations, as they implement improvements and make the process their own.

The Checklists are also available for purchase (19,90 euro). This hardcopy edition is printed on cover stock and spiral bound, creating a book that is attractive and easy to handle.
