Abstract
Let’s start this book with a short stroll around the office to meet the people who are involved in a software project. It is important to look at their typical problems and desires so that we have confidence in the adequacy of the forecasting method and the approach to project control that we develop later in this book. It is the people, with their problems and desires, who establish the solution’s adequacy.

Notes
- 1.
Technically, scrum masters are absolved from the responsibility of planning out the full project. They only focus on helping the team work better and remove impediments. However, I consider client discomfort and uncertainty to be major impediments for the team’s work. As such, the scrum master is responsible for minimizing them. One of the things that can be done is to have a better project forecast, reliable long-term commitment, and a working plan for effective project control.
