The second edition of An Introduction toAgile Project Delivery examines how non–software development corporations and practitioners can apply various Agile methods, tools, and processes to harness the success of Agile project management.
Readers will learn the various techniques that Agile has adopted across its family of methodologies, including Scrum, XP, and Crystal, as well as some of Agile’s influences, such as Lean and Kanban. In addition, this volume provides advanced instructions for using Atlassian’s industry-leading Agile software, Jira, and features case studies that follow a project manager as they work through a large health care–related project.
This new edition includes additional historical material on the birth and application of Agile methodologies and expanded content on the Agile mindset, Agile at scale, and managing risk. The text also provides new material expanding on the key topics of ethics, change and risk management for practitioners, and relations with product owners, consumers, and the public.
