A shorter alternative to "Elements of Scrum" (in case you run out of time)
- Scrum: A Breathtakingly Breif and Agile Introduction
- This book essentially repeats the concepts from Elements of Scrum. It would be handy to have a copy of it as a guide for the class. If don't have time to read Elements of Scrum, please at least flip through this book (it's much shorter).
