Agile, a Manager's Guide: Unlocking business value using Scrum
Bookboon Learning
July 14, 2021
A primer for managers who want to make their business more agile (with a small a). How will becoming agile affect how they manage and strategize and what do they need to do to ensure that the agile initiative yields the expected results? This book references Scrum to implement agile concepts or methods, but the method can be replaced by any Agile method.
It's a concise read and easy to absorb and action.
Note this is not the second edition of my previous book with a similar title; it is an entirely different book.
