Agile for Everybody: Creating Fast, Flexible, and Customer-First Organizations

by Matt Lemay

Agile is usually considered a practice for software development teams and technologists. But now, as more and more software and technical teams collaborate with other parts of the company, the Agile way of working has started to permeate non-tech teams as well.

This practical book explains how Agile practices have been adopted with success by other groups and divisions in a growing number of companies, and shows executives, managers, and directors how to conduct their own "Agile transformation."

Agile for Everybody distills the Agile movement into three easy-to-understand and actionable principles. You'll learn how each of these principles can be applied to marketing departments, sales teams, and executives, as well as software developers. This book also provides a shared language for Agile transformation across the modern organization.

A great book for looking at how agile ideas expand to all areas of the business, not just software. I read this mostly to see why a collaboration book (which almost nothing to do with agile) kept referencing it.

This is hugely focused on people and how they communicate, reminding you along the way to not get too caught up in a prescribed agile process.

Agile means that we plan for uncertainty
Concept: Lean (Efficiency), Agile (Velocity), Design Thinking (Ustability, UI/UX)
Agile Practice Deep Dive: WHPI (Why How Prototype Iterate)

Short book, very good for introduction to agile.

[Saumya Singh · Rating 2 out of 5]

The topic was good. However the way the book was structured was like a novel and it didn't work for me.
I liked the specialising vs sanitizing concept and the WHPI topic. I somehow dragged through gis book 😖😖😖

This book suitable for those who new to Agile practice.

[Sagar Jethani · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great little primer. Some fluff, but 90% solid. I'll be putting several of these ideas into practice.

[Ferdi Brannekämper · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hits the high notes “Agile is about People & Culture” conveys the heart of Agile not the noise about how good or bad certain approaches & frameworks are.

Not for everybody.
