Yesterday I attended the book launch “De Kracht Van Scrum” at the Krasnapolsky in Amsterdam.

The book is written by Eelco Rustenburg and Rini van Solingen. Jeff Sutherland and Guido Schoonheim started the evening with presentations on the history of Scrum and how Xebia combined Scrum with offshoring. After that, Eelco and Rini climbed on stage to introduce their book, “De Kracht Van Scrum”.

To get an impression of the book (and a few laughs), please watch the trailer (it’s in Dutch).

The rest of the evening was well spent with a beer, getting a signed copy of the book and talking with a few other people.

I happen to (almost) have a vacation. Besides having quality time with my family, I still have some books to read and  I hope I will get to that too!

What’s on my list?

• The Fifth Discipline, by Peter Senge
• The Goal, by Eliyahu Goldratt
• Getting To Yes, by Roger Fisher, William Ury and Bruce Patton
• Lean Primer, by Craig Larman and Bas Vodde (technically not a book, but I’m going to read it anyway)

If anyone has more suggestions, please let me know.
