Unlock the true power of collaboration within Scrum Teams with this practical guide packed with tips, tools, and real-life scenarios to elevate your facilitation skills. Scrum requires healthy collaboration, not just between the members of the Scrum Team, but also between the Scrum Team and its stakeholders to gather feedback and input. These stakeholders include users and customers of the product developed by the Scrum Team. Collaboration is the heart of thriving Scrum Teams, but most available resources on collaboration focus solely on meeting formats and neglect to show how Scrum Teams truly harmonize their efforts and make informed decisions effectively. This book bridges the gap by not only providing effective facilitation techniques but also delving into the how and why of facilitationall geared toward improving effectiveness, achieving impactful outcomes, and helping Scrum Teams work through challenges. Obtain tools and insights for Scrum Teams to better facilitate team interactions to leverage group diversity. Learn from real-world scenarios that illustrate common Scrum Team challenges and how they can be overcome with effective and timely facilitation. Discover comprehensive facilitation approaches accompanied with effective guidance on when to use them, how they can be combined, and how they can help to achieve desired outcomes.

Unlock Scrum success for beginners and experts alike with The Scrum Anti-Patterns Guide, your key to understanding and elevating Scrum practices. Scrum is simple to understand but difficult to master. As a framework, Scrum is particularly challenging as there is no formal education tailored to these roles and no comprehensive set of practices readily available to those interested in applying it. The Scrum Guide 2020 describes its underlying principles only in the broadest strokes--from applying Scrum to complex adaptive problems to embracing self-management--but the Scrum Guide is not at all prescriptive about how Scrum Teams work. The Scrum Anti-Patterns Guide compiles the most common challenges that every Scrum Team faces and how to remedy them. The book uses the Scrum Guide as a template to structure the content thus supporting the junior practitioner's Scrum discovery journey (categorized by roles, events, artifacts, and commitments) while allowing the more experienced reader to use the book to reference individual problems or situations. Addresses Scrum anti-patterns for both novices and experienced practitioners. Offers actionable insights into why Scrum implementations fall short and how to improve. Covers real-time course corrections and improvements in Scrum practices. Maximize Scrum success with this quick reference to the most common Scrum anti-patterns and how to resolve them. Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available. See inside book for details.

AI is about to transform medicine. Here's what you need to know right now. ''The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the personal computer. It will change the way people work, learn, and communicate--and transform healthcare. But it must be managed carefully to ensure its benefits outweigh the risks. I'm encouraged to see this early exploration of the opportunities and responsibilities of AI in medicine.''--Bill GatesJust months ago, millions of people were stunned by ChatGPT's amazing abilities -- and its bizarre hallucinations. But that was 2022. GPT-4 is now here: smarter, more accurate, with deeper technical knowledge. GPT-4 and its competitors and followers are on the verge of transforming medicine. But with lives on the line, you need to understand these technologies -- stat. What can they do? What can't they do -- yet? What shouldn't they ever do? To decide, experience the cutting edge for yourself. Join three insiders who've had months of early access to GPT-4 as they reveal its momentous potential -- to improve diagnoses, summarize patient visits, streamline processes, accelerate research, and much more. You'll see real GPT-4 dialogues -- unrehearsed and unfiltered, brilliant and blundering alike -- all annotated with invaluable context, candid commentary, real risk insights, and up-to-the-minute takeaways. Preview a day in the life of a doctor with a true AI assistant. See how AI can enhance doctor-patient encounters at the bedside and beyond. Learn how modern AI works, why it can fail, and how it can be tested to earn trust. Empower patients: improve access and equity, fill gaps in care, and support behavior change. Ask better questions and get better answers with "prompt engineering." Leverage AI to cut waste, uncover fraud, streamline reimbursement, and lower costs. Optimize clinical trials and accelerate cures with AI as a research collaborator. Find the right guardrails and gain crucial insights for regulators and policymakers. Sketch possible futures: What dreams may come next? There has never been technology like this. Whether you're a physician, patient, healthcare leader, payer, policymaker, or investor, AI will profoundly impact you -- and it might make the difference between life or death. Be informed, be ready, and take charge -- with this book.

AI systems are solving real-world challenges and transforming industries, but there are serious concerns about how responsibly they operate on behalf of the humans that rely on them. Many ethical principles and guidelines have been proposed for AI systems, but they're often too 'high-level' to be translated into practice. Conversely, AI/ML researchers often focus on algorithmic solutions that are too 'low-level' to adequately address ethics and responsibility. In this timely, practical guide, pioneering AI practitioners bridge these gaps. The authors illuminate issues of AI responsibility across the entire system lifecycle and all system components, offer concrete and actionable guidance for addressing them, and demonstrate these approaches in three detailed case studies.Writing for technologists, decision-makers, students, users, and other stake-holders, the topics cover:Governance mechanisms at industry, organisation, and team levelsDevelopment process perspectives, including software engineering best practices for AISystem perspectives, including quality attributes, architecture styles, and patternsTechniques for connecting code with data and models, including key tradeoffsPrinciple-specific techniques for fairness, privacy, and explainabilityA preview of the future of responsible AI

Wild West to Agile: The evolution and revolution of software development, drawn from personal experience, from the Apollo moon mission to digital transformations. In 2023, "technology is your business--no matter what your business." But how did we get here and how could a historical perspective prepare us for the future? Jim Highsmith tackles the evolution and revolution of software development, embellishes them with personal experiences, from the Apollo moon mission to modern digital transformations, and introduces the adventurous pioneers--from structured era developer Ken Orr to Agile methodologist Kent Beck--who strived to make the world a better place, by building better software. Jim's six-decade career has encompassed the Wild West (1966-1979), to Structured Methods and Monumental Methodologies (1980s), to the Roots of Agile (1990s), to the present Agile Era (2001-present). In each era, he explores the evolution of software development methods, methodologies, and mindsets. Whether you are from the 1970-1980's generation looking for an "I was there too" moment, a newer generation interested in the evolution of software development, the Agile generation interested in how Agile methodologies were born and evolved, or have a general interest in information technology, Wild West to Agile has something for you. "Jim Highsmith is the Forrest Gump of software development. What made the 1994 movie so entertaining was how frequently Forrest found himself in the right spot as history was being made. Unlike Forrest, though, Jim's actions influenced that history." --Mike Cohn, cofounder of the Agile Alliance, and the Scrum Alliance; author of Succeeding with Agile "If you want to understand the shape of software development today, this is the book for you. If you want to understand how to navigate a turbulent career with grace & style, this is also the book for you. If you enjoy memoirs, ditto. Enjoy his story." --Kent Beck, Chief Scientist, Mechanical Orchard; author, Extreme Programming Explained "This entire journey--beginning with the Wild West era of software development through the Agile Era to today's Digital Transformation era--is entirely empowered by people. Thank you, Jim, for sharing these beautiful stories and honoring the people that were a part of this amazing journey."--Heidi J. Musser, Vice President and CIO, USAA, retired "I've always felt that understanding history is important, because it's hard to understand where we are unless you understand the path that we took to get here. Jim's memoir is an entertaining and astute odyssey through this history."--Martin Fowler, Chief Scientist, Thoughtworks
