We use Scrum here at Asian Efficiency, so we're thrilled Lucas is able to join us today to dive deep on the topic. If you're new to Scrum, don't worry - Mike and Lucas will give an introduction to how it works and share several scenarios where it could be useful for you, even if you aren't a developer or don't work remotely. They talk about why scrum is for everyone, the productivity benefits that come from using scrum, and how to implement it for yourself and your team. They share common mistakes people make when implementing scrum for the first time, share additional resources, and Lucas gives some pro tips to help you take scrum to another level.
