Historical errata for A Scrum Book

A character (unicode: u913d) is not rendered correctly.
It is the second character of “入鄽垂手”.

The author’s name in citation “Ahn07” should read “Hyeshin Ahn” instead of “Vorgelegt von Hyeshin Ahn”. “Vorgelegt von”, a usual term used on the front matter of German PhD theses, literally means “submitted by” or more precise “presented by”, but it is by no means a crazy title of nobility. So in my opinion it can safely be dropped from the bibliographic record.

1st line on page: “[…] challenge the Professors when promises where broken […]”: Please substitute “were” for “where”.

Dates seem to be formatted inconsistently:

P. 37, footnote 6: “January, 2013”: May I suggest to either remove the comma or to write “2013, January” as in the bibliography?

P. 68, footnote 14: Besides the bibliography, most dates read “30 June 2006”, not “June 30, 2006”.

P. 105, footnote 22: At all other instances in the book, URLs bear the term “accessed”, not “viewed”.

P. 149, footnote 24: same suggestion as regarding p. 37

P. 282, first line: “January 28, 1986” or “28 January 1986”?

P. 368, footnote 29: Please remove the comma after “April”.

P. 426, 5th paragraph: Please remove the comma after “December”.

P. 460, 3rd paragraph: Please substitute “December” for “Dec”.

P. 462, last paragraph: Please substitute “27 December 2010” for “12/27/2010”.

P. 493: Please substitute “August” for “Aug”.

In “Team Sprint,” the sentence: “The Development Team is coming up with new ideas, features, or innovations that the Product Owner puts on the Product Backlog as Product Backlog Items (PBI)” should read: “The Development Team is coming up with new ideas, features, or innovations that the Product Owner puts on the Product Backlog as Product Backlog Items (PBIs).” I.e., “PBI” should be pluralized.

Kowalski should be Kozlowksi in [KI06].

Mein Name is spelled without the “r” at the end.
Full name “Peter Gfader”.

Just search for “Gfade” and you find the 2 places.

There is an error in the Japanese translation of 紙芝居 in the following sentence on page 409:
“This is loosely related to the Japanese concept of kamashibai, which is a […]”

The correct pronunciation is KAMISHIBAI. (decomposed in kami-shiba-i).

D. Kanhneman was awarded the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. This prize is not a Nobel Prize. This official name of this (prestigeous) prize is “The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel”. The prize was established in 1968 and is not technically a Nobel Prize.

“Picture on page 161 Greg Neate …” has a duplicate reference to Flickr

The sketch is put before the bold text (Problem Statement) while with all other patterns the sketches are put after the problem statement. My guess is that the sketch should be moved down (somewhere in the Forces).

Paragraph 3 is in direct contradiction to paragraph 2 on page 213.

The sentence “reordering PBIs to hit the best market windows can increase the profitability of every item in the Product Backlog Item.” should start with an upper case letter.
Also, in my opinion the second occurrence of “item” might not be what the authors intended.
In short, my suggestion is as follows: “Reordering PBIs to hit the best market windows can increase the profitability of every item in the Product
Backlog.”
