I am particularly grateful to Mike Cohn. Mike’s patient shepherding, help,

and ongoing feedback were invaluable in writing this book. Thank you
very much, Mike! Special thanks to Jeff Sutherland and Brett Queener for
writing such great forewords. And thank you, Ken Schwaber, for teaching
me Scrum.

I am forever grateful to my family. My wife, Melissa Pichler, gave me the

time and focus to write the book, and she discussed ideas with me,
reviewed the chapters, and helped with the cover design. Thanks, honey!
Thank you also to my son, Leo, and my daughter, Yasmin, for tiptoeing
around (or trying to) when Daddy was writing his book. Special thanks to
Leo, age five, for providing honest feedback after reading a few sentences
of the book: “Daddy, it’s a bit weird.”

I would also like to thank Rebecca Traeger for her excellent editorial work
and the team at Pearson—Chris Guzikowski, Raina Chrobak, Sheri Cain,
Anna Popick, and Barbara Wood—for all their help and hard work.
