The best way to start SCRUM is to hire someone who worked in such environment - likely SCRUM Master. But if you want to learn about SCRUM from the Internet and books here is my checklist.The best book I've ever read on SCRUM is Henrik Kniberg's ebook:
SCRUM and XP from Trenches
Quite short and comprehensive introduction to SCRUM by Pete Deemer and Gabrielle Benefield:
SCRUM Primer
The shortest encyclopedic description available on Wikipedia:
SCRUM (Development)
Good way to learn is to take good examples. One of them is Atlassian - you can learn how they do SCRUM with XP from their blog:
SCRUM and XP in Atlassian
If you want to have up-to-date news about SCRUM and agile world in general you should subscribe to some RSS feeds:
http://feeds.agilesoftwaredevelopment.com
http://www.scrumalliance.org/rss
I also have to mention Ken Schwaber's book (their are absolutely MUST):
- Agile Software Development with Scrum - great theoretical background - this book will tell you WHY Scrum works
- Agile Project Management with Scrum - absolute MUST - great real-life stories
- The Enterprise and Scrum
If you are currently using Scrum you have to be also aware that even with this framework you can screw up. This presentation tells you what to do in order to succeed: 10 ways to screw up with Scrum and XP
