"Lacking in detail" - by Davros on 26-FEB-2013

From the table of contents, this book looks like it has all the details needed to implement Scrum. However, this book falls short on detail in almost every area. Its a good book for a Scrum framework but you will have to back it up with additional books for more detail.
