Get To Done® is both online software and cards on walls. We have worked hard to bring this unique tool to you so that you have full support for writing and managing complex backlogs. Stop regressing! Getting Scrum implemented right is hard, your software tool needs to support the right behaviors or groups often regress.  As a 3Back public course participant, we encourage you to use the Get to Done® planning and implementation tool. This powerful tool will help to enable your team to excel with increased team visibility and accountability. 

SCRUM DICTIONARY exists for one simple reason. Words matter. In the world of Agile frameworks, words matter even more. Scrum Dictionary removes the lexicon noise and delivers a clear, concise definition of Agile terms, complete with examples and related terminology, in a format that’s as user-friendly as they come.

Scrum_H  The Scrum Handbook (Scrum_H) is a description of Scrum that both unifies and extends older descriptions of Scrum, and is easier to relate to real world scenarios. It is the cleanest, most flexible and most agile version of Scrum there is… Scrum_H is a scale-ready extension of Scrum.
