Why Agile Works (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781329913820)

Why do some companies excel with agile and others see virtually no improvement? The difference is culture and an understanding that agile is a framework for deep cultural change instead of a process or set of practices to increase efficiency. Processes and methods can become stale and rote, and can stifle innovation-even processes that were initially developed to be agile. An agile culture, however, will continuously improve and adapt without the need for periodic change initiatives. Why Agile Works: The Values Behind the Results focuses on why and how agile works and where agile should take organizations in terms of values. Here you'll learn: why agile fails most often, how culture determines results, the difference between values and beliefs, a framework for describing agile organizational values, how to recognize common beliefs that support and undermine an agile organization. If agile is a framework for change, this book is about what this change looks like and how agile beliefs lead you there.
