This book is a practical guide for new agile practitioners and contains everything
a new project manager needs to know to get up to speed with agile practices quickly
and sort out the hype and dogma of pseudo-agile practices.The author lays out the
general guidelines for running an agile project with the assumption that the project
team may be working in a traditional environment (using the waterfall model, or something
similar). Agile Development in the Real World conveys valuable insights to multiple
audiences: For new-to-agile project managers, this book provides a distinctive approach
that Alan Cline has used with great success, while showing the decision points and
perspectives as the agile project moves forward from one step to the next. This allows
new agile project managers or agile coaches to choose between the benefits of agile
and the benefits of other methods. For the agile technical team member, this book
contains templates and sample project artifacts to assist in learning agile techniques
and to be used as exemplars for the new practitioners own project. For the Project
Management Office (PMO), the first three chapters focus on portfolio management. They
explain, for the agilists benefit, how projects are selected and approved, and why
projects have an inherent "shelf-life" that results in hard deadlines that may seem
arbitrary to traditional technical teams.--Résumé de l'éditeur
