The book is a complete manual for all critical situations a project manager might need to handle along the project’s lifecycle. Written by a project manager with many years of experience, each chapter contains real-life examples with analysis and guidelines. You’ll benefit from the down-to-earth knowledge that usually project managers learn over the course of years in critical and stressful situations with no preparation beforehand. It’s not about academic methodologies – it’s about pragmatic solutions that work in real-life. For software developers, project managers, engineering managers and software development directors, sales reps, executive and founders.

This book provides the missing link of how to shift mindsets on how to work effectively. The word agile has moved far beyond its original meaning in helping to transform large organizations. We now know that agile is used as the tool to accelerate an organization's ability to adapt and thrive in a world of accelerating change. This book provides the missing link of how to shift mindsets on how to work effectively. This shift requires an investigation of how we can move organizations in the way they think about work-especially work that does not easily conform to the traditional plan-driven approach. Agile has proven to be the go-to approach to begin to transform organizations in the digital age. Without agile, large organizations struggle to keep up with their nimbler competitors. There are not only external threats, but also internal threats. Employees want to work for customer obsessed organizations that have more than just a profit motive. Agile goes a long way in convincing existing and potential talent that you are the right place for them. Customers have many more options today than they did in the last century, so agile is a way to rally your entire organization toward becoming customer obsessed. All of the potential benefits of agile will not be realized until the leaders first have a higher-level understanding of the mindset that is critical to undertaking the successful journey to becoming more agile.
