About this listen
Are you frustrated or disenchanted by the results of your Agile approach?
Does Agile sound like a good idea, but you're not sure how to explain it beyond roles, practices, and meetings?
Is your team going through the motions, but it's still business as usual?
The missing piece is the Agile mindset - the thinking that makes Agile processes work.
This book is your compass for the Agile journey. Without prescribing any process, practice, or tool, it will show you how practitioners approach:
- Deciding what to work on
- Planning and doing the work
- Engaging people and performing as teams
- Working better

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

In The Unicorn Project, we follow Maxine, a senior lead developer and architect, as she is exiled to the Phoenix Project, to the horror of her friends and colleagues, as punishment for contributing to a payroll outage. She tries to survive in what feels like a heartless and uncaring bureaucracy and to work within a system where no one can get anything done without endless committees, paperwork, and approvals. One day, she is approached by a ragtag bunch of misfits who say they want to overthrow the existing order, to liberate developers, to bring joy back to technology work.
