Scrum is simply a methodology for Agile delivery based on a few straightforward principles. It is not a magic answer to waterfall pitfalls and Agile is not Scrum, which is often a big confusion for a lot of people.
Anything applying “some” of the Scrum principles is not Scrum and the authors make it very clear. Either you apply Scrum entirely or you are not doing it the way it was intended.
Imo, this is a great introduction to agile principles when understood and applied properly by you, your team, clients, and leadership.
