Plan goals, releases, and sprints for all aspects of business and life. With Dummies, you'll learn how to work flexibility and collaboration into anything you're doing.

Learning Agile is a comprehensive guide to the most popular agile methods, written in a light and engaging style that makes it easy for you to learn.

This practical book helps you sort it out, first by grounding you in agile's underlying principles, then by describing four specific - and well-used - agile methods: Scrum, extreme programming (XP), Lean, and Kanban.

Your organization's culture is the key to its success. Strategic planning is essential. People's competencies should be measured and their weaknesses shored up. People crave feedback. These may sound like basic truths of our work lives today. But actually, they're lies. As Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall show in this provocative, inspiring book, there are some big lies - distortions, faulty assumptions, wrong thinking - running through our organizational lives.

O Scrum é a arma secreta por trás de algumas das empresas mais bem-sucedidas da atualidade. Google, Facebook, Amazon e Apple usam esse método de gerenciamento de projetos para impulsionar inovações incrivelmente rápidas mantendo o foco nos clientes e no aprimoramento contínuo. Em seu primeiro livro, Scrum: A arte de fazer o dobro do trabalho na metade do tempo, J. J. Sutherland expôs a estrutura do Scrum, aplicada por quase todas as atuais líderes em tecnologia.

Niemand könnte ein Praxisbuch schreiben, das anschaulicher erklärt, welche großen Herausforderungen Unternehmen mit Scrum bewältigen können, als die Erfinder der Methode selbst. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus Branchen, die disruptiven Veränderungen ausgesetzt sind - wie Bosch, Saab oder der Ölförderer Schlumberger - verdeutlicht Sutherland die positive Kraft von Scrum. Denn diesen Unternehmen ist es gelungen, ihre Leistungsfähigkeit zu erhöhen, bessere Zahlen zu schreiben und ihre Zukunft selbst zu gestalten.

"Scrum" heißt die revolutionäre Methode, die seit den 90er-Jahren große IT-Projekte zum Fliegen bringt. Und das schneller und kostengünstiger als geplant: Unternehmen, die mit Scrum arbeiten, schaffen die doppelte Arbeit in der Hälfte der Zeit. Gar nicht auszudenken, was geschähe, wenn jede Firma von dieser Methode profitieren könnte! Genau das ist Jeff Sutherlands Mission.

You are an Agile Coach and you are being called in to fix a bad problem. Your client has entered into a fixed price contract with their client, but it looks like the project is going sour. Half of the time and money have been spent but only about 30 percent of the milestones have been reached. Management wants you to "do Agile" and fix the problem. What should you do? This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.

You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: You have been hired to "fix" a poorly performing software development team. When you join the group you find that it is dominated by a very capable by a strong willed woman that the team calls "Bossy Bobbie". She makes every decision and assigns tasks to all of the other developers. She follows them up and takes over their tasks if they fall behind. No one is happy about the situation, but no one seems willing to do anything about it.

You are a Scrum Master and you are joining an existing team. There is a problem, though. The Product Owner is unhappy. There is a high priority item on the Product Backlog that the developers are refusing to add to their Sprint. They say that Scrum gives them the right to choose the work they do, and they claim the so called "high priority" item is not very important at all.

You are on a Scrum Team with a problem. You need some changes to the data base behind the application you are creating, but the tables are controlled by another team, they are busy with their own priorities and do not want to help. What should you do? This case and the others in the series come from the real-world experiences of a group of Scrum professionals who meet regularly to discuss the Scrum Framework and how to apply it to actual situations they have encountered.

You are a Scrum Master and you have a challenge: You are coaching a new Product Owner doing release planning for the first time. There are three politically powerful stakeholders who each wan their project included as your team's highest priority.
