In this new edition of her award-winning book, Jamie Lynn Cooke explains
the principles of Agile, shows why it works, and demonstrates how to use
Agile to significantly increase productivity, quality, and customer
satisfaction in any industry. It shows how Agile approaches can give
you: - A faster, more flexible and highly responsive framework, allowing
your organisation to leverage internal and external changes more
quickly. - Significantly more efficient use of resources and time,
freeing up staff for greater innovation and value creation. - Direct
stakeholder engagement, resulting in better customer relationships and
more compelling product development. Written for managers and business
professionals, the book presents a range of proven Agile methods
including Scrum(R), Kanban, Feature Driven Development(TM) (FDD(TM)) and
the Dynamic Systems Development Method(R) (DSDM(R)) in clear business
language. The author then devotes a chapter to each of the 12 Agile
principles that make these approaches consistently successful, and
details how to use these methods to tackle the core challenges faced by
every organization. The book concludes with in-depth case study that
compares Agile with traditional approaches for achieving three common
business objectives, followed by step-by-step guidelines to making Agile
work for your organization, and a range of resources for further
reading. Read this book and learn how to unleash the potential of Agile
in your organization. About the author Jamie Lynn Cooke has 24 years of
