Have you ever tried your hand at software development only to find out that it’s much harder than you prepared for? Not only do you have to make sure that your skills are up to par with everybody else but there is also the matter of coordinating with everyone involved in that project. And with Collaboration comes the potential for complexity. Soon enough, you’ll be juggling different deadlines and correspondences, deal with differences in design approaches, and wade through deep technical problems. Aside from that, you’d have to deal with pressure from investors and stakeholders whose visions your team is trying to translate into something tangible but often get blindsided by last-minute committee decisions. Now, what if you are open to a more agile method of managing projects but find changes in your results to be insignificant? For instance, you might have adopted methodologies like Scrum and XP but find your team of going through the motions of the change instead of fully embracing such. Managing a project that requires collaborative effort is complicated and often challenging, there is no doubt to that. But what if someone were to tell you that you can help your team achieve its goals at a faster and far more effective pace? This is where this book comes into play. In this book, you will learn the different Agile Methodologies, the rationale behind their structures, and the values, principles, and concepts that you could use in employing them. If that is not enough for you, here are a few more things that the book will focus on: What motivates teams and what ideas and principles do they identify with the most? The basics of the four major Agile methodologies: Scrum, XP, Kanban, and Lean. What makes them different from one another? Restructuring your team’s framework to be more compatible with agile methodologies. Picking the right methodology for your team or for a certain project. Preparing, dealing with, and mitigating potential problems that might arise from the application of methodologies. Ensuring sustainability in the application of agile methodologies. In essence, by learning of the Why behind Agile Project Management methods, you can find the How in implementing them for your own team. And eventually, you should be able to achieve the results you have set for the team or, better yet, go beyond those. The information provided in this book has been organized in such a way that it is easy to understand and master, even for those who are relatively new to the concepts of software development and project management. If the prospect of learning how to finish projects faster and more effectively intrigues you, then it is now time to dive deep into the world of Agile Project Management!

Changing our organizations is hard, and changing how we think about change is even harder. We all fall in love with the first successful approach for change that we use, and once it stops working for us, it's tough to change how we approach change.While we love chasing the next big change method, framework, or playbook, history has shown those flash-in-the-pan ideas render themselves obsolete as the world of business evolves leaving us chasing our tails for the next set of best practices.Who you are and the attitude you bring towards changing your organization is vastly more important than the method, framework, or playbook you pick. This book will help you with three things: -How you can transform how you manage change work.-How you can transform how you think about change.-How you can transform how you work with agile teams.Sounds like magic, doesn't it? Unfortunately, it's not, it's hard work, and it's up to you. Traditional change management has focused on making other people change their behaviour to ensure successful change. Maybe the problem is that we're looking at change through the wrong lens. This book will help you look at change through the lens of true agility. True agility is timeless and based on the values and principles of the agile manifesto. You'll be sorely disappointed if you expect to see a fancy looping diagram or a set of recipes that tell you they'll "ensure maximum ROI and change success". Oh, and you won't see any bullshit statements like that in the book either.What you will find is plenty of stories, insightful tips, and practical actions based on my 20 years of experience working as a product owner, scrum master, agile team member, change manager, internal and external agile coach, and organizational change agent. Above that, you'll get connected to a global community of change agents sharing their ideas and stories about how they facilitated meaningful change.Being "more agile" in change management is about you. It's about you taking the time to challenge your assumptions and beliefs. The day I learned how to change my views on change was the day my happiness level being a change agent skyrocketed and I hope this book inspires you down the path of facilitating meaningful change.

Master IBM’s Breakthrough DAD Process Framework for Succeeding with Agile in Large, Complex, Mission-Critical IT Projects It is widely recognized that moving from traditional to agile approaches to build software solutions is a critical source of competitive advantage. Mainstream agile approaches that are indeed suitable for small projects require significant tailoring for larger, complex enterprise projects. In Disciplined Agile Delivery, Scott W. Ambler and Mark Lines introduce IBM’s breakthrough Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD) process framework, which describes how to do this tailoring. DAD applies a more disciplined approach to agile development by acknowledging and dealing with the realities and complexities of a portfolio of interdependent program initiatives. Ambler and Lines show how to extend Scrum with supplementary agile and lean strategies from Agile Modeling (AM), Extreme Programming (XP), Kanban, Unified Process (UP), and other proven methods to provide a hybrid approach that is adaptable to your organization’s unique needs. They candidly describe what practices work best, why they work, what the trade-offs are, and when to consider alternatives, all within the context of your situation. Disciplined Agile Delivery addresses agile practices across the entire lifecycle, from requirements, architecture, and development to delivery and governance. The authors show how these best-practice techniques fit together in an end-to-end process for successfully delivering large, complex systems--from project initiation through delivery. Coverage includes Scaling agile for mission-critical enterprise endeavors Avoiding mistakes that drive poorly run agile projects to chaos Effectively initiating an agile project Transitioning as an individual to agile Incrementally building consumable solutions Deploying agile solutions into complex production environments Leveraging DevOps, architecture, and other enterprise disciplines Adapting your governance strategy for agile projects Based on facts, research, and extensive experience, this book will be an indispensable resource for every enterprise software leader and practitioner--whether they’re seeking to optimize their existing agile/Scrum process or improve the agility of an iterative process.
