Agile Project Management: A Mandate for the 21st Century

Agile Project Management connects the dots between agile practices, project management practices, and those drivers in the business world that make it likely that all projects of all types are going to need the benefits that agile project managers can bring. The book is not intended as a full primer on the agile philosophy or on adaptive leadership. Much has been written about agile practices within information technology organizations, but the focus of these efforts has been primarily on agile software development projects. As this exciting method has become familiar to software developers and others in IT, many project management experts have wondered: shouldn't agile methods be applied to the management of other kinds of projects? Agile Project Management answers that question.
