Chapter 15. Parting Thoughts

Here you are at the end of our book. Thank you and congratulations! Rather than just let you move ahead alone, here are some parting words as to how to apply the book to your real-world project situations.

The first assumption we make is that you read Chapter 1 first, either as your introduction to Agile and Scrum or as a refreshment of the Scrum class you just took with the team. Even if you may have read other books or whitepapers on Agile or Scrum, Chapter 1 will help you be on the same page as us and help you successfully adapt Scrum to your environment in case you have constraints that will not let you use Scrum “out of the box,” as is the case in most of the project situations we have seen.
