Managing Agile - Alan Moran Kartoniert (TB)

This book examines agile approaches from a management perspective by focusing on matters of strategy implementation organization and people. It examines the turbulence of the marketplace and business environment in order to identify what role agile management has to play in coping with such change and uncertainty. Based on observations personal experience and extensive research it clearly identifies the fabric of the agile organization helping managers to become agile leaders in an uncertain world. The book opens with a broad survey of agile strategies comparing and contrasting some of t he major methodologies selected on the basis of where they lie on a continuum of ceremony and formality ranging from the minimalist technique-driven and software engineering focused XP to the pragmatic product-project paradigm that is Scrum and its scaled counterpart SAFe® to the comparatively project-centric DSDM. Subsequently the core of the book focuses on DSDM owing to the method's comprehensive elaboration of program and project management practices. This work will chiefly be of interest to all those with decision-making authority within their organizations (e.g. senior managers line managers program project and risk managers) and for whom topics such as strategy finance quality governance and risk management constitute a daily aspect of their work. It will however also be of interest to those readers in advanced management or business administration courses (e.g. MBA MSc) who wish to engage in the management of agile organizations and thus need to adapt their skills and knowledge accordingly.
