[close] Chad Haefele reviewed Sprint on slack (reposted in the latest Web for Libraires), and had this to say:

"Sprint obviously wants readers to come away equipped to run this process immediately. You’ll find sample scripts, detailed methodologies, useful case studies, and a shopping list for everything you’ll need to run your own sprint. It’s a quick read that manages to cover high-level concepts without ignoring the small details of what it’s like to actually run a sprint. The book is relatable, plainly written, and not too serious."
