Agile for business

Are you struggling to implement Agile methodologies or culture within your company? Are people demanding detailed plans and follow-ups? Is there a chasm between business operations and the IT department? These questions can be continuously raised - but luckily this book is here to help! The original concept came about after repeatedly getting questions from businesses about what Agile is and what value it brings. Erik Hultgren and Dick Lyhammar tried to explain such benefits as shorter feedback loops, delivering important functionality first, happier development teams, better deliveries and radically reducing the risk of a huge development effort - but were still lacking some material to show. Hence the idea of this book was born! Hopefully it will help you explain the Agile concept to anyone at your company. The book also covers the topics of Agile HR, Lean and Agile, Agile Leadership, Agile outside IT and how to handle the transition from traditional project management into an Agile setup. Erik Hultgren and Dick Lyhammar together have over 15 years of management experience within software development and Agile transformation. Christer Dahlström has over 10 years’ experience as an Agile Coach with a special interest in visualization.
