Successful with Scrum – The Major Influence of Human Resources Management: Finding and Keeping Employees in Agile Companies
In order for Scrum projects to be successful, both the development team and the human resources management team need to adjust to agility and its requirements.
- Describes all requirements of human resources management and points out practical solutions
- The perfect team of authors: ScrumMaster and ScrumTrainer Boris Gloger together with Personal André Häusling
If in your company agile methods such as Scrum are already being used, and if you are already involved with agile methods as a developer or manager, then you will have seen that the company organization and the human resources management face completely new challenges through these new development methods.
Boris Gloger und André Häusling, who have supported numerous Scrum-Projects as ScrumMaster und Personal, point out the new requirements facing the human resouces management and give practical advice on how to how to deal with them. This ranges from the search for suitably qualified employees for work on agile projects – and what those qualifications actually should be – to the question of performance assessment and agreement on objectives for employees in agile teams, as well as aspects such as solving conflicts between the line organization and Scrum project culture, and how to handle changes of staff in agile projects. You can expect tips and best practices from the authors´ experience.
[quote author = "Dirk Graber, founder and managing director of Mister Spex GmbH") "At Mister Spex we introduced Scrum a good while ago. Thus we are familiar with the processes of change and new challenges facing executives, human resources departments and in fact all employees, as described in this book. In my view it is important to work with Scrum in a holistic way, and to dare to throw over board conventional ways of thinking. This book really helped me to do so."
"The book "Erfolgreich mit Scrum – Einflussfaktor Personalmanagement“ (Success with Scrum - The Influential Factor of Personnel Management) fills in a gap in the organization of companies trying to gradually convert to Scrum. Projects that use Scrum are more dependent on those completing the project than in the past. What is more important than finding suitable employees? Gloger and Häusling use their impressive and extensive experience to show us how to do this. A wonderful book - essential and informative."
