I think this is an important book because we know a lot about AGILE development but not a lot has been said of the change management.
A handy, informative and well written book that can be useful to anyone who work with AGILE projects.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
