De: David Daly

Narrado por: David Daly

Is your team stretched to the limit, with no time to tackle technical debt or try out new ways of working?

Do you wish that you could focus your energy on creating amazing software rather than endlessly firefighting? Better Agile condenses years of experience into a short, practical guide, so that you can quickly make agile work for you.

Perhaps you have already tried to adopt an agile method or technique, hoping it would fix these problems. But maybe you found that it didn't give you the benefits you were expecting, or solve the challenges you are facing.

This book provides you with the solution: It's a short guide, loaded with clear explanations and practical examples, that will help you to quickly identify and implement improvements that will work for your team.

It includes the three essential secrets of agile, quick overviews of Scrum and Kanban, and the 10 mistakes you need to avoid. It ends with a simple but powerful five-minute agility self-assessment which immediately tells you the quick wins and longer-term improvements you can implement straight away. The book also includes 55 of the best coaching questions that you can use to inspire change.

David has 20-plus years of experience in tech, during which he has worked with hundreds of software engineers, development managers, agile coaches, and executives. He has led and coached teams, lectured at universities, and spoken at agile events. With this experience, he has seen firsthand what works and creates positive outcomes, as well as the common pitfalls and obstacles that teams face. This book condenses that experience into the essential information you need to make agile work better for your team, no matter your starting point.
