Books Openclaw Scrum is the first operating model that treats AI agents as first-class team members under empirical process control.
Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for First Principles in Scrum: OpenClaw Scrum and Scrum@Scale: Create Trust at Machine Speed by Jeff Sutherland!
About the Book #
Openclaw Scrum is the first operating model that treats AI agents as first-class team members under empirical process control. Scrum@Scale, extended on first principles, is the only existing framework with the structural primitives (Scrum of Scrums, MetaScrum, EAT) to coordinate networks of human-plus-agent teams at enterprise scale.
Most "AI transformations" will fail for the same reason most "agile transformations" failed: they substitute tooling and theater for empirical control. Openclaw Scrum is the corrective.
This book can help Agile practitioners, Executives, and Coaches understand and implement future organizations of swarming agents.
Practitioner: "Scrum, re-grounded in first principles for teams where AI agents do real work."
Executive: "An empirical operating model for AI-augmented organizations — accountability, transparency, and learning velocity at scale."
"Agile died of process theater. AI will kill it again unless we go back to first principles."
