The word Agile has grown to mean many things. You're not alone if you have ever found yourself thinking: "What is agile, really? Does agile work? How can I use agile on my projects?" It seems every man and his dog has an interpretation these days. There is a world of confusion about what works, what doesn't, what is worth your time and what is just noise.

Don't Spook the Herd! is a companion for anyone wanting to make sense of agile project management and how they can contribute effectively to agile projects. Whether you are completely new to agile or you have a bit of experience with it, this book will help you level-up your understanding and skills.

Dan explains agile concepts using a friendly and simple approach. The book is packed with practical real-world tactics that can be used immediately on any project. There is a treasure-trove of valuable lessons-learned from several successfully completed multi-million-dollar projects.

Don't Spook the Herd! provides insights into a crucial idea: agile projects are successful when the people involved are focussed on delivering and comfortable with adjusting priorities based on actual outputs and results.
