Agile Leadership
The Professional Agile Leader
The Professional Agile Leader is a realistic, practical guide, written by experienced agile leaders who share their collective experiences in helping agile leaders to grow responsive and adaptive teams. They structure powerful lessons around a case study based on decades of experience helping agile leaders achieve and sustain agile transformation. Best of all, they never settle for high-level hand-waving–they show you how it’s really done.

Inspiring Project Management with Agile
An Agile approach requires a different mindset from the person driving the change, from the professionals involved in various teams, and—and this is sometimes overlooked—from the organization in which the Agile project is executed. An Agile project needs sufficient project management, predictability, determining functionality, and decision-making to become successful. It’s about managing projects with quick and easy grace compared to traditional waterfall project management.
