What does Disruptive Leadership look like? Faced with finding faster ways to innovate and create value, today's business leaders are discovering the competitve secrets behind hyperproductive teams. Learn how Jeff Sutherland enables companies to use the power of Scrum and leverage disruptive leadership to shift these hyperproductive teams into high gear.

Jeff Sutherland, the co-creator of Scrum and one of the original signers of the Agile Manifesto, is changing the way companies around the world compete. His principles have changed the way we create value for our customers and how we build high performing organizations to increase our productivity and competitive edge. Adopted by thousands of companies, Scrum is now the de facto standard of "work" that supports dynamic business strategies.

Jeff Sutherland has a new book, SCRUM: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time, which is filled with lessons learned through his years of building high performing teams. This is the first book to reveal how the tech world’s hottest management process can be used as a tool to hyper-accelerate work of all kinds and exposes what is wrong with the way we currently do work, and how productivity and quality can be boosted.
