Agile Project Management

A recent study conducted by the IT Process Institute indicates that implementing a high level of agility is the key that unlocks performance potential in organizations. Agile Project Management introduces a basic Agile primer that focuses on building and improving project management knowledge in a structured, but easy to read format, rather than in a theoretical or conceptual manner. The result is reader self-sufficiency, simple understanding, greater sustainability, higher quality, and overall speed to value realization that improves your competitive advantage in the marketplace. Tristan Boutros and Jennifer Cardella use an enterprise portfolio perspective to create an understanding of the nature and value of agile oriented thinking and a culture of continuous improvement. Alongside an explanation of the key processes and tools, the text includes sample learning materials such as getting started instructions, practical guides and real world examples.
