_______________________FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SCRUMDo you never get as much done as you need to?Sometimes, even the most important projects can feel painstakingly slow. But it doesn t have to be this way. In his international bestseller Scrum, J.J. Sutherland introduced a simple, revolutionary tool used by Google, Amazon and the FBI to turbo-charge the output of every team. He called it the Scrum method.Now, Sutherland returns with a step-by-step guide to using this revolutionary system at any level of any company. With its emphasis on rapid innovation, no-bullshit meetings and quick-fire decision-making, Scrum will transform your productivity - starting today.PRAISE FOR THE SCRUM METHOD Every business needs a methodology for getting stuff done, for successful collaboration and scalable management techniques. Scrum is the answer. Entrepreneur The project management method known as Scrum may be the most widely deployed productivity tool among high-tech companies. On a mission to put this tool into the hands of the broader business world for the first time, Jeff Sutherland succeeds brilliantly. Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup

A 10th Anniversary edition of the bestselling productivity bible from the co-creator of Scrum - now updated with brand new methods for working faster and smarter.__________________________________________â ˜This book contains immense practical value that could be transformative for your company.â ™ STEPHEN LUNDIN, New York Times bestselling author of Fish!â ˜Full of engaging stories and real-world examples . . . On a mission to put this tool into the hands of the broader business world for the first time, Jeff Sutherland succeeds brilliantly.â ™ ERIC RIES, New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup____________________________Scrum is the reason that Amazon can launch a new feature on its website every day. It s how the FBI finally created a massive terrorist-tracking database. It has revolutionised productivity and team-building in industries as varied as the military and healthcare in major hospitals. The reason for the rapid embrace of Scrum across so many disciplines is simple: organisations that implement the Scrum method typically double productivity and quality - and sometimes the increase can be as much as twelve-fold.Now, in this new 10th Anniversary edition, JJ and Jeff Sutherland take the project management system that everyone continues to talk about even further, sharing brand new case studies and anecdotes, from how John Deere used Scrum to increase their supply chain during the pandemic despite nationwide shutdowns, to how the UK ministry of defence is using Scrum across their entire military in response to emerging threats like Russia and China, and how agile and scrum teams are collaborating with AI to be more effective than both humans or robots alone.A lot has changed in the last ten years, but the good news is that the Scrum framework is as adaptable as it is effective. Filled with actionable tips on how to build teams, set goals and monitor progress, it also includes brand-new research on the psychology of how we work and stay motivated.Scrum is the book every working professional and business leader needs.__________________________ Engaging, persuasive and extremely practical . . . Scrum provides a simple framework for solving what seem like intractable and complicated work problems. Amazingly, this book will not only make your life at work and home easier, but also, better and happier. - SHAWN ACHOR, New York Times bestselling author of BEFORE HAPPINESS and THE HAPPINESS ADVANTAGEâ ˜If there was a Nobel Prize for management, and if there was any justice in the world, I believe that the prize would be awarded . . . to the invention of Scrum.â ™ Forbes Scrum is mandatory reading for any leader, whether they re leading troops on the battlefield or in the marketplace. The challenges of today s world don t permit the luxury of slow, inefficient work. Success requires tremendous speed, enormous productivity, and an unwavering commitment to achieving results. In other words, success requires Scrum. - U.S. General BARRY McCAFFREY Jeff Sutherland is the master of creating high-performing teams. The subtitle of this book understates Scrum s impact. If you don t get three times the results in one-third the time, you aren t doing it right! - SCOTT MAXWELL, Founder Senior Managing Director, OpenView Venture Partners This deceptively simple system is the most powerful way I ve seen to improve the effectiveness of any team. I started using it with my business and family halfway through reading the book. - LEO BABAUTA, creator of ZEN HABITS [Scrum] dramatically increases productivity while reducing employees frustrations with the typical corporate nonsense. This book is the best description I ve seen of how this process can work across many industries. Senior leaders should not just read the book - they should do what Sutherland recommends. - PROFESSOR JEFFREY PFEFFER, Stanford Business School; co-author of THE KNOWING-DOING GAP

Unlock Scrum success for beginners and experts alike with The Scrum Anti-Patterns Guide, your key to understanding and elevating Scrum practices. Scrum is simple to understand but difficult to master. As a framework, Scrum is particularly challenging as there is no formal education tailored to these roles and no comprehensive set of practices readily available to those interested in applying it. The Scrum Guide 2020 describes its underlying principles only in the broadest strokes--from applying Scrum to complex adaptive problems to embracing self-management--but the Scrum Guide is not at all prescriptive about how Scrum Teams work. The Scrum Anti-Patterns Guide compiles the most common challenges that every Scrum Team faces and how to remedy them. Stefan Wolpers uses the Scrum Guide as a template to structure the content, thus supporting the junior practitioner⠙s Scrum discovery journey (categorized by roles, events, artifacts, and commitments) while allowing the more experienced reader to use the book to reference individual problems or situations. Addresses Scrum anti-patterns for both novices and experienced practitioners Offers actionable insights into why Scrum implementations fall short and how to improve Covers real-time course corrections and improvements in Scrum practice Maximize Scrum success with this quick reference to the most common Scrum anti-patterns and how to resolve them. Stefan Wolpers has a remarkable ability to highlight underlying traps and issues for stakeholders, teams, and process. Wolpers documents sources of waste and frustration, an amazing compendium of typical ways progress becomes blocked. Depressing! He doesn⠙t leave us there though. He also recommends insightful remedies. Uplifting! --Diana Larsen, speaker, advisor, author, and co-developer of the Agile Fluency® Model Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

The bestselling author of It s Not How Good You Are, It s How Good You Want To Be Paul Arden turns logic and common sense on its head in Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite and gives you the confidence to take bigger risks and enjoy your work more than you can imagine.Have you ever considered the extraordinary power of making bad decisions, being unreasonable, and taking dangerous, unadvisable risks?Has it ever occurred to you that nothing is more dangerous than playing it safe, or that the straight and narrow path may lead you right off a cliff?Paul Arden has become a global business guru on the strength of such radical insights. His first book, It s Not How Good You Are, It s How Good You Want to Be, became a word of mouth classic, selling more than half a million copies. Instead of the usual boring advice, he offered daring quips, aphorisms, and paradoxes - all seeking to revise what we habitually hold as our common sense .Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite is an even more daring attack on the way we look at our work and our world. Whether you sell, manage, or buy, Arden will inspire you with his counterintuitive axioms, startling anecdotes, brilliant photographs, and offbeat quotations from artists, scientists, and philosophers.Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite will force you to rethink everything. And it will give you the confidence to take bigger risks and enjoy your work more than you can imagine. Brilliant, bad, charming, irascible and totally off the wall, Paul Arden is an original with extraordinary drive and energy, blessed with a creative genius allied to a kind of common sense that just isn t, well, common Roger Kennedy, Saatchi Saatchi Paul Arden spent 14 years as the Executive Creative Director at Saatchi Saatchi. He was responsible for some of the UK s most successful advertising campaigns - British Airways, Silk Cut, Anchor Butter, InterCity and Fuji. In 1993 he set up the film production company Arden Sutherland-Dodd. His first book sold over half a million copies. He has a weekly column in the Independent and recently opened a photographic gallery in his hometown, Petworth.

Winner of Saltire Scottish History Book of the Year 2016They would be better dead, they said, than set adrift upon the world. But set adrift they were - thousands of them, their communities destroyed, their homes demolished and burned. Such were the Sutherland Clearances, an extraordinary episode, involving the deliberate depopulation of much of a Scottish county. What was done in the course of that episode was planned and carried out by a small group of men and one woman. Most of those involved wrote a great deal about their actions, intentions and feelings, and much of it has been preserved. There are no equivalent collections of material from those whose communities ceased to exist. Their feelings and fears are harder to access, but they are by no means irrecoverable. In this book James Hunter tells the story of the Sutherland Clearances. His researches took him to archives in Scotland, England and Canada, to the now deserted straths of Sutherland, to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay. The result is a gripping, moving, definitive account of a people s struggle for survival in the face of tragedy and disaster which includes experiences which have not featured in any previous such account.

A searingly honest memoir of life, policing and falling apart Every contact leaves a trace John Sutherland joined the Met in 1992, having dreamed of being a police officer since his teens. Rising quickly through the ranks, and compelled by the opportunity to make a real difference to people s lives, he worked across the capital, experiencing first-hand the enormous satisfaction as well as the endless trauma that a life in blue can bring. There were remarkable, career-defining moments: commanding armed sieges, saving lives and helping to take dangerous people off the streets. But for every case with a happy ending, there were others that ended in desperate sadness. In early 2013, John suffered a major breakdown and consequent battle with crippling depression. After a career spent racing to be the first at the scene of crimes and catastrophes, he found himself in pieces, unable to put one foot in front of the other. Blue is a memoir of crime and calamity, of adventure and achievement, of friendship and failure, of laughter and loss, of the best and the worst of humanity, of serious illness and slow recovery. With searing honesty, it offers an immensely moving and personal insight into what it is to be a police officer in Britain today.

Audiokniha: „Zásadní kniha. Skvěle použitelná na všechno v životě a proklatě vtipná.“ — Nassim Nicholas Thaleb „Jak už název slibuje, Alchymie mění slova v čiré zlato. Z každé stránky září hluboká moudrost.“ — Robert B. Cialdini ## O knize Jak vyrobit zázrak? Legenda reklamního světa Rory Sutherland vás přesvědčí, že řešení problémů musíte hledat tam, kde nikdo jiný – ve sférách zdánlivé iracionality. Jen zde totiž najdete skutečné motivy rozhodnutí vašich zákazníků, kolegů a lidí obecně. I těch vlastních, ač si to málokdo z nás dokáže přiznat. Porozumění tomu, co ovlivňuje naše chování, jak vytvořit důvěru ve značku, co je signalizace, jak využít placebo efekt a proč konečně aplikovat poznatky behaviorální psychologie nejen v reklamním, ale v jakémkoliv byznysu, vám Sutherland předá stylem nejzábavnějšího a nejbystřejšího společníka na večírku. Budete se dokonce těšit i na poznámky pod čarou. Ale hlavně získáte odvahu vyzkoušet své nejlepší nesmyslné nápady protěžované racionalitě navzdory. Protože dávají smysl. ## Vaše představy o světě a lidech rozbijí poznatky jako: - Logika je nástrojem, nikoliv pravidlem. - Na vnímání není nic objektivního, i když jsme přesvědčeni o opaku. - Snaha posílit racionální chování nutně nevede přes racionální argumenty. - Dobrý odhad je také vědeckou metodou. - Neočekávané nebo nelogické věci zaujmou mnohem víc než ty jasně logické. - Skutečný génius lidstva spočítá ve schopnosti mít přibližně pravdu. - Koťátka v reklamě fungují. ## O autorovi Rory Sutherland (* 1965) je bývalý kreativní ředitel OgilvyOne, nyní místopředseda Ogilvy Group UK. V reklamní a marketingové branži se pohybuje více než 30 let. Svými sloupky pravidelně přispívá do časopisu The Spectator. I díky britskému humoru mají jeho TED Talks milionové počty zhlédnutí. # Více o knize http://www.melvil.cz/kniha-alchymie

After the terrible losses of The Great War, twenty years later the Second World War resulted in the death of some of the finest sporting icons. This book honours the ninety international rugby players who lost their lives. Fifteen were Scottish, fourteen English, eleven Welsh and eight Irish. Australia and New Zealand suffered with ten and two internationals killed respectively and France eight. Germany topped the list with nineteen. In the same way that the Authors best-selling Into Touch remembered the 130 Internationals lost in the First World War, Final Scrum gives an individual biography of each of the ninety with their international and club playing record as well as their backgrounds, details of their military careers and circumstances of their death. We learn where they are buried or commemorated together with at least one photograph of each player. Rugby enthusiasts will find this book a fascinating and moving record of the sacrifice of the finest young men of their generation who fought in the second worldwide conflict of the 20th Century.

Při přípravě jedné své knihy autorka strávila nějaký čas ve škole pro trenéry zvířat. Zatímco pozorovala studenty, jak cvičí paviány, emu, gepardy a další tvory, osvojila si pár technik, jež se ukázaly jako efektivní i v případě poněkud vyspělejšího zvířete – jejího manžela Scotta. Poté o tom v The New York Times zveřejnila článek, který se na internetu stal nejsledovanějším a nejsdílenějším článkem Timesů v roce 2006. Tento úspěch Amy Sutherlandovou přiměl, aby své poznatky o behaviorálních technikách uplatňovaných u zvířat i lidí rozpracovala v knize. Ta je něčím na pomezí vzpomínek, rádce a příručky o zvířecí psychologii. Díky autorčinu originálnímu a zábavnému pojetí se dozvíme například to, proč odměna funguje lépe než trest nebo co je metoda minimálního posílení. Případně prostě získáme tipy, jak se účinně vypořádat s iritujícím chováním našich blízkých. Amy Sutherland je známá americká novinářka, která žije v Bostonu a v Portlandu v americkém státě Maine s manželem Scottem a fenkou Penny Jane.

â ˜A breakthrough book. Wonderfully applicable to everything in life, and funny as hell.â ™ Nassim Nicholas TalebWhy is Red Bull so popular â “ even though everyone hates the taste? Why do countdown boards on platforms take away the pain of train delays? And why do we prefer stripy toothpaste?Discover the alchemy behind original thinking, as TED Talk superstar and Ogilvy advertising legend Rory Sutherland reveals why abandoning logic and casting aside rationality is the best way to solve any problem. In his first book he blends cutting-edge behavioural science, jaw-dropping stories and a touch of branding magic on his mission to turn us all into idea alchemists. He shows how economists, businesses and governments have got it all wrong: we are not rational creatures who make logical decisions based on evidence. Instead, the big problems we face every day, whether as an individual or in society, could very well be solved by thinking less logically. To be brilliant, you have to be irrational.

Seventeen-year-old Josephine Jagger is a talented writer with special abilities she doesn t fully understand. Over the years she has developed methods to cope with the voices she hears in her head, but the old house her family has inherited in Vermont makes Josephine question what s real and what s not more than anything she s ever encountered before. It s filled with shadows, and whispers, and the unshakable feeling of being watched. Josephine then catches her first glimpse of a shadowy woman with long hair, pale skin, an impossibly wide smile and hollow pits for eyes. Her name is Dorcas, the ghost of a witch who died three hundred years ago. She has summoned the family to Vermont to ensnare them - then consume them - in order to rise from the grave and live again
