      Looking at the link – I guess you can’t get it in a hard copy format. Shame; I don’t take my iPad or laptop with me everywhere, but want to read…

        Yes! You can get hardcopy (if you purchase). I’ll consider giving away a hardcopy to the winners at their request!

    We are trying to establish scrum after a long discussion and finding period. Finally! The guide would help me to understand faster and better what need to avoid during the implementation and would help us being successful in this big task.
