Veteran agile coach Mario Moreira teaches new adopters how to implement a robust Agile framework to derive from it the maximum business benefit in terms of customer value, revenue, and employee engagement.  Agile is a ubiquitous watchword in the corporate world, but only a minority of companies understand and practice what they pay lip service to. Too many content themselves with half-baked approximations such as Fragile (fragile Agile), ScrumBut (Scrum but not the practices), and Scrum Fall (mini-waterfalls in the sprints). Moreira shows maturing early adopters how to bridge the chasm between going through the motions of doing Agile and genuinely being Agile. After a high-level synopsis of Agile?s values and principles, methodologies (including Scrum, Kanban, DSDM, Leam, VFQ, and XP), and roles, Moreira plunges into the nitty-gritty of how to apply the ready, implement, coach, and hone (RICH) deployment model to all phases of a project in such a way as to embody and inculcate agile values and principles at the team level and promote agile transformation across your organization's culture. 606 $aAgile software development$xManagement 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aComputer software$xDevelopment$xManagement 615 0$aAgile software development$xManagement. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aComputer software$xDevelopment$xManagement. 676 $a004 676 $a005.1 700 $aMoreira$b Mario E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0872332 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437969103321 996 $aBeing Agile$91947589 997 $aUNINA
