"Agile approaches are now accepted practice and while the
fundamentals of the agile mindset remain the same, we have seen a
constant evolution in how we write code, create stories, and scale
our collaboration. In that time, while somany things have evolved,
the humble backlog has continued to sit in the background, useful,
but barely different from its original conception. This book
provides an overdue evolution of the backlog, embracing its
strengths and confronting its challenges to reimagine what how it
can be used in the modern agile organization. If the Rock Crusher
is a reimagined backlog though, it is also more than that.
The Rock Crusher becomes a holistic set of approaches that enable
the team toimprove flow and value across the organization."
- James King, Agile Coach
"Finally someone has splashed a dose of reality onto the broken
flat backlog metaphor! Lots of great concepts and tools here."
- Jeff Patton, Chief Troublemakerwww.jpattonassociates.com
"Agile frameworks do a good job of telling teams they should refine
their backlogs but never really explain why or how. Steve, Shane,
and Ryland close that gap by explaining why you should refine your
backlog, how to do it, and why you should take that approach. To
help with the explanation, they use the metaphor of a rock crusher
to bring the message home. If you've ever struggled with your
backlog refinement efforts, The Rock Crusher is worth a read."
