Book Description

Agile has become popular with software teams because the ones that have “gone agile” often talk about the great results they get. The software they build is better, which makes a big difference to them and their users. Not only that, but when agile teams are effective, they have a much better time at work. Things are more relaxed, and the working environment is a lot more enjoyable. Learn why software teams--and other teams at companies--are embracing agile.
