Overview

What can help you build a house, code software, draft a project, or even renovate your business? A whiteboard, a pad of sticky notes... ...and the knowledge of how to use them, of course. Agile project management is the solution people have been looking for. Born out of sheer need nearly two decades ago, agile project management has grown and expanded past the borders of its software development beginnings. These days, companies in marketing, medicine, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and even governmental institutions employ agile practices to help their processes, to deliver faster, and to be better at everything they do. To skeptics, agile project management may very well sound like a utopian dream - but in fact, it is the complete opposite of that. Agile project management comes to oppose idealistic views on how projects should be planned. It comes to help you embrace change at its true value and power. It comes to help you deliver better, faster, more qualitative products. This book will help you: Understand what agile project management is Understand what agile project management is NOT Understand the basic principles behind agile project management Understand why agile is needed Understand where agile comes from Understand why agile has so many advantages (and what they are) Understand how to actually apply the 12 Agile Principles to real-life work Understand why teams love agile project management Understand how to build truly agile teams Understand how to deploy and scale up your agile projects If you are looking for a one-size-fits-all solution to your project management needs, agile is not it. But, to be absolutely honest, nothing will ever offer this to you. There is no magic solution to delivering faster, better products. If you are looking for a comprehensive, compelling, and easy-to-understand book that will teach you the basic tenets of agile without oversimplifying the concepts behind it, then this is what you are searching for.
