Overview

 ‘Agile Foundations – Principles, Practices and Frameworks’ gives a rounded, unbiased view of Agile generically, not focusing on any one Agile framework’s view. There are many Agile books available; however the majority of them discuss specific Agile techniques or specific Agile frameworks. While Agile frameworks have successfully been applied to business transformation projects, marketing, health service commissioning, and many other business sectors, this book mainly concentrates on Agile product delivery within the IT industry.

Reviews

“It’s refreshing to see a well-balanced review of Agile and its methods. A text like this is long overdue.”

David Anderson, Chairman, Lean Kanban, Inc.

“…particularly important for those considering adopting Agile as it allows informed decisions to be made and ensures the style of Agile chosen actually fits with the culture and constraints where it will be used.”

Mary Henson, Chief Executive, Agile Business Consortium
