Scrum for Non-Techies: Learn how to use in your Business the methodology that led Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft to success
Companies are continually looking for people with the ability to work as a team. It is normal, since your own survival depends on that ability.
But you know well that, in practice, most teams are not such.
The bosses never admit their mistakes. Neither do team members.
And, if someone does it, the boss and co-workers beat them up.
So, everyone thinks: "better to stay silent." Nobody presents new ideas or participates in decisions.
And no one commits to the objectives and results.
There is no team, but a jungle, an "every man for himself."
When trust is destroyed, everything goes to hell.
Many companies and projects fail.
Many professional expectations are frustrated.
Talent and money are wasted, problems such as anxiety and burnout even appear.
But is it possible to create and maintain a climate of trust between people who work together?
The answer is: yes, it is possible to work with people who are accomplices, not mere colleagues or subordinates.
It is possible to work in a team in which you grow personally and professionally with other people. You grow thanks to others and others grow thanks to you.
When this is achieved, toxic people, mediocrity and routine disappear; Motivation and results come naturally.
How is this climate of trust and collaboration achieved?
To answer this question I have written "Scrum for Non-Techies".
It is a book to learn how to form high-performance and highly creative teams based on trust, complicity and collaboration.This way of working as a team is called Scrum. It started in the 90s, and is the most used in the world of computer programming. The most leading multinationals use it: Google, Amazon, Facebook, BBVA Compass Bank, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, etc.

About the Author

When introducing myself, I think it's best to start at the beginning. I trained as telecommunications engineer and have worked as a systems administrator and C++ programmer. In 2006 I learned about the Scrum methodology, and I have specialized in this field, working as an employee and as an independent consultant. In 2014 I was certified as a Scrum Manager, and in 2015 as an Agile practitioner by the prestigious Project Management Institute.
Over time I have been training as a coach, both in my area of specialization and at a more general level. In 2020, I obtained the Master "Coaching & Mentoring Fundamentals for Agile", from the European Coaching School in Spain; In addition, I have been certified as a coach by the prestigious International Coaching Foundation.
At the same time, I am a writer. A peculiar writer, who does not stick to a specific genre, but publishes what he considers can help other people. That is why I have published two books aimed at people interested in the Scrum methodology, both at a basic level ("Scrum for Non-Techies") and advanced ("Agile Coaching for Scrum Masters"). I have also published a fiction book about work stress, based on my own professional experience ("The Work Stress Cycle").
But I have not settled for writing books aimed at professionals. I have also published one aimed at anyone interested in the deep meaning of their life. It is titled “Maturing Your Catholic Faith.” In 2016 I returned to the Catholic Faith, and I have felt the concern and the need to share my spiritual path with other people. The result has been this book. I wrote it thinking about people who, like me, have been educated in the Catholic Faith but then abandoned it. As adults, we need a map to reconnect with it. But the book will also help anyone who feels the need to find the deep meaning of their life.
