Is this for you?

You are new to Agile

You have heard Agile, Scrum and Sprint, and want one clear picture before the vocabulary.

You manage or sponsor work

You want to know what good looks like so you can ask better questions and fund the right things.

You are preparing to learn

You are about to join a course or a new team, and want to arrive with the big picture already in your head.

After the ride, you will be able to

Tell a real customer problem from a loud opinion
Explain why the way of working should fit the work
Describe what a Sprint is for, and what “Done” protects
Read a simple early forecast, and know how far to trust it
Separate what a team delivered from what changed for people
Pick one small thing to try on your own work this week

The route

Find value. Is this problem real, and worth solving?
Choose how. Which way of working fits this work?
Build. How do small steps become something people can use?
Prove. Did it actually make a difference?

Quick questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Download it, read it, and share it with your team or friends as a complete, unmodified copy, with credit to the author.

Do I need to know Agile or Scrum already?

No. It starts with a customer problem, not a framework, and introduces each idea when the story needs it.

Is it a replacement for a certification course?

No. It is an overview. It shows you the route and prepares you to learn the detail, in a course or in the full playbook.

Are ZipCab and its team real?

No. They are made up to teach one idea at a time, and every number in the story is illustrative.

Can I print it?

Yes. It is A4 and designed to read well on screen or on paper.
