**********************************************************************************
Discuss the second half* of "The Scrum Master Files" by Angela Johnson with us!
*Beginning of Chapter 7 ('Do You Want Fries With That?') to the end

Our own mistakes are arguably our best learning tools. But... failure is painful. Is there a way to avoid failure, yet still learn? Twin Cities' own Angela Johnson offers up her own experiences (and failures) on her path from project management to scrum mastery- so that we might learn from them.
This book is relevant to anyone who works with people (not just scrum masters).

Do you have a long backlog of books you want to read, but never seem to find the time? Join us- and let our mutual accountability help you get started.

Do you want to share what you’ve learned, and enrich that learning by hearing others’ perspectives? Come and be a part of our book club.

Do you want to strengthen your network through meaningful, focused, fun conversation? Let’s talk books!

HOW IT WORKS:

We meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month. At each session, we’ll discuss a few sections of the current book, until we’ve gone through the whole book. Once we’ve finished, we’ll move on to another book.

As you read, note down the following 3 impressions from each section to share:

The “Aha”: Something that clicked, or that was surprising or interesting.

The “Uh-oh”: Something that makes you feel uncomfortable

The “What now?”: What can you do right away with this? / What will you do differently?
