Good Intro to Agile Concepts and Processes

This beginner's level overview of Agile concepts and recommended practices covers the major topics for anyone interested in keeping pace with new project development.

Horrible

I wouldnt recommend this book to anyone. Literally 30% of words are "Agile Project Management". Almost every sentence starts with "Agile Project Management". Moreover book is full of cheese phrases.... "Define a vision" - really!?

Not a complete guide; too vague

This is nowhere near a complete guide. I was hoping to get more in-depth information, especially on different frameworks like Kanban, etc, but the book only lightly glossed over those subjects. This was a waste of time and money.

Talking without actually saying anything.

This book is so vague and non descriptive that it manages to say nothing at all and feels like it was written by amateur AI from Wikipedia.

Cleary Written & Performed by an AI

The voiceover is in AI clearly. You can tell by where some of the pauses are. Very obvious if you've heard AI voiceovers before.

The wording is also...robotic...repetitive and generic.

I think Audible should remove and refund everyone because I also think that many of the reviews are fake.

It was an introduction

Using the word "Complete" was a bit over selling it. Basic Introduction is in the title yet it doesn't discuss much beyond mentioning mentioning that these processes exist. It does explain what Agile is very lightly. I think it's a good listen if you've never heard of Agile or any other methodology. It's only 1hr of your life.

Definitely worth the listen

This book gives a very good overview of how the Agile project management system works. It explains the differences between Agile and several other project management programs explaining why Agile is a good fit for most companies, private or government. The wording is very easy to understand it is written in laymen terms rather than technical terms.

This is absolutely the best one

The thorough comparison of Agile Project Management to the traditional method's very useful! It has convinced me more.

Agile Project Management

Agile Project Management is a very useful concept, seen also elsewhere, in this book the practical steps for achieving it, or rather the steps that one should avoid, are outlined as well.

Excellent book.

Excellent book. Really helping me to understand the basics. A great resource for my new job where I am the Product Owner. Highly recommend!

monotonous and difficult to follow

if you to hear a computer voice reading random words that make little to know sense then get this book. other than that it's useless

Awful

If you want to hear the writer say that agile is preferred by project managers over and over again, then this is the book for you. I bought this to get an understanding of what agile is and it’s failed on every level.

Nothing groundbreaking

Not enough examples or concreate information, in fact the book is very repetitive. I keep getting informed how fantastic agile is, but still don't know much of practical uses. In short a lot of theory sounding like a grocery list

waste your credit

terrible. robot narration. a long list of software and web apps with little actual Agile info. total waste. can I send this back please

Everybody should listen this book!

I'm glad to have these books in my library. I would recommend these books anyone looking to gain some knowledge on this subject. It is worth listening.

Excellent book

Excellent book for an absolute beginner who wants to understand the terms and get introduced to the subject. Would definitely recommend to all beginners.

Better than expected

I have a general interest in Agile and this is giving me great information! Thanks a lot and keep them coming!

excellent content

The author holds your interest until the end. It is that engrossing. I am about to share this Agile Project Management book with my team. Cheers for the excellent content.

Clear and informative

This quick start guide was amazing. It helped me so much with my project management skills. That is one area I have always had a hard time to excel in. But with the help of this audible and a couple key programs I am finally getting my world organized.

Everybody should listen this book!

This is a wonderful and highly practical book. Within hours of putting it down I was already putting some of its advice into practice.
