A balanced guide to Agile transformation that gets past all the hype and jargon to help leaders tailor Agile to their unique organizational setting.

Agile transformations are supposed to make organizations modern, competitive, and relevant. But in the rush to jump on this latest bandwagon, many leaders make the mistake of adapting superficial versions of agile techniques, only to find that their organizations are only marginally better versions of their previous selves. My new book cuts through the “quick fix” hype of agile theory and uses decades of agile coaching experience to unpack the mistakes that hold organizations back.

Based on case studies from the field, this book unapologetically engages with the messiness of organizational culture and process change, and will help you navigate those challenges in a way that works for your own people.
