About this title

Synopsis

The popularity of agile development methodologies continues to increase, as

developers and technical managers have seen the benefits of incorporating

flexibility in development projects. However, agility advocates still struggle to

gain business management support for their initiatives. The reluctance of

business management to truly embrace agility stems from a disconnect between

the assumptions and techniques of traditional management and those of the

new agile development methodologies. The purpose of this book is to provide

management a framework with supporting evidence that directly addresses this

need. While conventional wisdom states that agile methods are not scaleable,

the author shares proof that it can be applied to large-scale development

projects. Furthermore, he aligns the adoption of agile methods to cutting-edge

business management practices. The end result is a practical book that will help

organizations overcome their institutional reluctance and reap the significant

benefit of agile methods.
