Greg Smith: Becoming Agile, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Many books discuss Agile from a theoretical or academic perspective.

Becoming

Agiletakes a different approach and focuses on explaining Agile from a

case-study perspective. Agile principles are discussed, explained, and then

demonstrated in the context of a case study that flows throughout the book. The

case study is based on a mixture of the author's real-world experiences.

Becoming Agilealso focuses on the importance of adapting Agile principles to the

realities of your environment. In the early days of Agile, there was a general belief

that Agile had to be used in all phases of a project, and that it had to be used in

its purest form. Over the last few years, reputable Agile authorities have begun

questioning this belief: We're finding that the best deployments of Agile are customized

to the realities of a given company.

Becoming Agilediscusses the cultural realities of deploying Agile and how to deal

with the needs of executives, managers, and the development team during

migration. The author discusses employee motivation and establishing incentives

that reward support of Agile techniques.
