Perspectives on Agility: Practical insights from the trenches (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798516511271)

Based on insights from years of agile coaching and leading large agile transformations, Perspectives on agility provides a point of view on some of the crucial aspects that leaders, coaches, and agile practitioners need to focus on in their journey for business agility.

The book is not an agile primer and does not broadly cover the subject of agile or propose any frameworks. It goes into topics that I found interesting over the years and provides a perspective on the same. You may fully subscribe to the view or have a different opinion. The objective is to trigger the question. Find the answer that makes sense to your context or you. The intent is to trigger your thinking to build your perspective on those topics.

The book is divided into five parts. While each chapter is entirely independent and can be read directly or in any order, the five parts try to bring related topics together.

Part 1 is about being agile and discusses why we are transforming to agile in the first place, our aspirations to be agile, and the journey towards business agility. Part 2 presents facets around introducing agile and dives deeper into change management and coaching. Agile culture is vital in any agile journey, and this is what part 3 dives into. Part 4 attempts to discuss insights relevant to successfully leading the transformation and especially useful for transformation leaders. In the 5th and concluding part, we discuss the perspective on the implementation of agile practices.
