Agile Project Management For Dummies, 2nd Edition Pdf Book Description:

Welcome to Agile Project Management For Dummies. Agile project management has grown to be as common as any management technique in business today. Over the past decade and a half, we have trained and coached companies big and small, all over the world, about how to successfully run agile projects. Through this work, we found that there was a need to write a digestible guide that the average person could understand and use. In this book, we will clear up some of the myths about what agile project management is and what it is not. The information in this book will give you the confidence to know you can be successful using agile techniques. Agile Project Management For Dummies, 2nd Edition is more than just an introduction to agile practices and methodologies; you also discover the steps to execute agile techniques on a project. The material here goes beyond theory and is meant to be a field manual, accessible to the everyday person, giving you the tools and information you need to be successful with agile processes in the trenches of project management.

By studying the fundamentals and techniques within this book, you will have the ability to produce a product roadmap, program jobs, and prepare to get product launches with all the simplicity of Agile software programmers. You will learn how to control time, and price, in addition to group dynamics, quality, and danger of each undertaking. As mobile and internet technologies continue to evolve quickly, there’s additional pressure to develop and execute software jobs in weeks rather than months–and Agile Project Management For Dummies will help you do exactly that. Providing a easy, step-by-step manual to Agile project management procedures, tools, and processes, it shows product and project managers how to finish and execute projects faster than ever. Because you’re reading this book, you might have a passing familiarity with project management. Perhaps you are a project manager, a member of a project team, or a stakeholder on a project. Or perhaps you don’t have experience with formal project management approaches but are looking for a solution now. You may even have heard the term agile and want to know more. Or you might already be part of a project team that’s trying to be more agile. Regardless of your experience or level of familiarity, this book provides insights you may find interesting. If nothing else, we hope it brings clarity to any confusion or myths regarding agile project management you may have encountered.
