This first-ever interactive Agile Adventure is the gripping tale of an
experienced team struggling with agile adoption. In this unique mashup
of a business novel written in the gamebook format, you'll overcome
common yet daunting challenges that come from using agile methods. As
Jim, the agile coach, you'll learn to apply a range of thinking tools
and techniques to real-life problems faced by teams and organizations.
Find out what really works and what fails miserably from the
consequences of your choices. And, unlike in the real world, if at first
you don't succeed, you can make different choices until you get things
right.
Management is ready to disband your new agile team and outsource your
project. Can you save The Dream Team?
The Dream Team started their journey 18 months ago. Since then, life has
become a nightmare. Progress has ground to a halt. Morale is low.
Quality has become taboo. You have five days to figure out how to get
the team back on track. There will be conflict and maybe tears. One
thing is for sure: there will be plenty of tough decisions to make.
Inspired by a classic gamebook series, this fun and interactive story
has eight different endings designed to enrich and put your agile
development knowledge and experience to the test. Packed with familiar
scenarios an agile team faces every day, The Dream Team Nightmare
offers you the chance to see what would happen if you could do things
differently so you can change the way you do things for real with
confidence.
Combining practical team-building exercises with effective facilitation
and Systems Thinking, by the end of the book you'll be ready to rescue
projects in trouble, and get new projects off to a better start.
