Can Scrum remain relevant in the age of GenAI?
If you read this book it is probable that you too will believe the answer is yes.

Most certainly this is not your umpteenth book about Scrum. Instead, here is a mesmerizing and refreshing anthology of 10 short to medium-length essays representing ten years of the author's writing about the philosophy behind Scrum as a framework for "collective making," and how its theory and practice reflect his choices in life. The selection of pieces contains accessible yet deep analysis of Scrum's architecture and epistemology, empiricism, complexity theory, cybernetics, human/machine relationships, artful collective making, expansive design, and much more. Most surprising is how the author, who lives and works in Asia and was an Asian Studies scholar before turning a Scrum professional and educator, uses strands of Buddhist philosophy and other Asian wisdom traditions to shed light on topics usually not seen through this lens. This is, for instance, the case with empiricism, Scrum axiology (Value Theory), and the elusive concept of "true leadership" (which was coined as a substitute for "servant leadership" in 2020). The result makes for a delightful, thoroughly transcontextual and crosscultural read, lavishly illustrated with acclaimed B/W workshop photography by the author.

With forewords by Scrum living legends Victor Loke (SkillsFuture Fellow, Singapore) and Tobias Mayer (The Scrum Academy, UK) - and a beautiful reading reflection by Deepak Menon, founder and chair of the Complex Systems think tank Emergenz (Bangalore).
