First Principles in Scrum: Teams That Finish Early Accelerate Faster
First Principles in The Definitive Guide to Agile Mastery
First Principles in Scrum explores the deep foundations of Scrum and Agile, authored by Jeff Sutherland—Co-Creator of Scrum and a signatory of the Agile Manifesto. With a new chapter added every sprint, it now is the largest Agile resource ever compiled.
Drawing on his background as a senior research scientist trained in radiation physics, Sutherland explains how principles from physics, biology, and neuroscience shape Scrum’s effectiveness. He also delves into the future of Agile, demonstrating how AI, when integrated with Scrum@Scale, can drive exponential productivity—projected to make teams 30-100 times more productive by 2030 .
Whether you’re a CEO, manager, or practitioner, this series is essential reading. It’s a roadmap to mastering agility in a rapidly changing world, offering insights into how the iterative cycles of Agile mirror the adaptability of complex systems while embracing AI as a transformative force.
***
Every week I get asked dozens of questions about Scrum from new Product Owners and Scrum Masters on every continent (except Antarctica). Most questions cannot be answered without going back to First Principles. This means you need to understand physics, biology, evolution, and neuroscience to do Scrum well.
I was the wingman of the sole surviving Ace from World War II in Vietnam. He was a brilliant scientist and engineer, and he taught me a lot about First Principles thinking. I was also lucky enough to engage with similar trailblazers in physics, chemistry, medicine, biology, and AI. They were all part of the search for hyperproductive Scrum, and they make for an exciting story.
In this book, I will share my insights on Scrum and First Principles thinking. I will also tell the stories of the trailblazers who helped me to develop my understanding of these concepts. I believe that this book can help you to become a more effective Agile Manager, Scrum Master or Product Owner.
