Deliver: How to deliver software projects using Agile ways of working (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645489705)

Are you finding it challenging to apply Scrum or other Agile methods to software development projects?

Or maybe you understand the concepts well enough, but there is a gap between doing Scrum well and meeting the needs of management and the expectations of stakeholders.

Deliver is about longer-term planning and thinking and proactive delivery management to help you implement successful projects.

In these pages, Peter Scheffer teaches you how to combine Scrum with delivery planning, risk and issue management, stakeholder management, progress reporting and improved estimation practices. He describes the activities you'll need to undertake before providing an estimate or kicking off your project. You'll learn a proactive approach that eliminates factors that adversely impact delivery.

Practical. Detailed. Outcome-focused. Whatever delivery role you have, this is the guide book you need from the start.
