PRAISE FOR MANAGING AGILE PROJECTS”In the hands of another, this class of material could become incoherent, but Sanjiv has enough intellectual power to ground his subject…Fans of APM and those who prefer new ideas as a catalyst for their management approach should find Managing Agile Projects rewarding.”Wes Balakian, Chairman and Executive Advisor, PMI eBusiness SIG”I only wish I had read this book when I started my career in software product management, or even better yet, when I was given my first project to manage. In addition to providing an excellent handbook for managing with agile software development methodologies, Managing Agile Projects offers a guide to more effective project management in many business settings.”John P. Barnes, former Vice President of Product Management at Emergis, Inc.”The agile software development movement evolved from a half-dozen methodologies-Scrum, Adaptive, XP, Crystal-that while different, embodied a consistent set of values and similar practices. The agile project management movement is following the same path-strength through a blend of consistency and diversity. Sanjiv’s book, Managing Agile Projects, adds both-consistency and diversity-to the concepts and practices of agile project management. His book is rich in ideas and practical advice. It is a wonderful addition to the growing literature about ‘alternative’ styles of project management.”Jim Highsmith Sr. V.P. and Director Agile Software Development and Project Management Practice Fellow, Business Technology Council Cutter Consortium LLC, Arlington, MA”Here is an innovative approach to the management of agile projects, examining traditional project management practices that do not align well with new agile methodologies. Augustine’s alternative approaches in regard to personnel, organization, and change make this a valuable resource for project managers as well as for the customer/product owner.”Sydney H. Jammes, Retired C.I.A. Economist”Project management has almost become a new paradigm for getting work done in most corporations around the world. This book provides a long overdue synthesis of the diverse strategies and practices in project management. The holistic and organic approach in the book combines the people factor and task complexity elements nicely and delivers an easy-to-read narrative that should be a must-read for every manager.”Tojo Thatchenkery, Professor of Organizational Learning, George Mason University”In our work with Sanjiv Augustine in New Zealand and Australia, he has always impressed me with his practical, lucid approach to the project management idea for our times-agile project management. This book captures the essence of that approach.”Martyn Jones, Managing Director, Software Education Associates, Ltd.”Rejoice! Sanjiv Augustine eloquently lays out a practical and elegant organic project management model for being innovative and delivering business value while maintaining a high quality of life. And in the process, he gives the world a proven alternative to mechanistic and rigid project management practices that have stifled software development and killed creativity. A brilliant piece of work.”Doug DeCarlo, author, “eXtreme Project Management: Using Leadership, Principles and Tools to Deliver Value in the Face of Volatility””Sanjiv Augustine’s informative new book, Managing Agile Projects, takes the mystery out of bringing about the successful completion of information technology projects. His innovative, clear, and sensible approach to the management of agile projects is a must-read for all members of the implementation team, from users to developers and from consultants to managers. This work is a major contribution to the field of project management.”Martha C. Edmondson, Chief Financial Officer, African Development Foundation”This book significantly builds on and extends agile thinking.”Jeff De Luca, creator of Feature Driven Development, www.nebulon.com”Sanjiv brings real world, interesting experiences to his topic and conveys the essentials of project management in the new era in a way that is both entertaining and enlightening. Busting the jargon and slicing through the marketing-speak, this book is an essential tool for anyone involved in development projects today.”Shane Hastie, Chief Knowledge Engineer, Software Education Associates, Ltd.”Managing Agile Projects extends the values and principles of more development-centric agile methodologies to project management, something essential to the creation and evolution of the truly agile organization. An excellent addition to the agile literature!”Steve Hayes, Professional Services Manager, Internet Business Systems”Agile Project Management, as outlined here, is a key component to building a software development organization that can effectively respond to changing market needs in a timely manner. “Madhu Garlanka, Senior Manager, eBusiness Application Development, Nextel Communications”Agile methods created by ‘radicals’ have matured into tools in common use in many organizations. Now that teams are using these methods on high-profile projects, executives are starting to ask, ‘How can we manage these agile processes?’ This book builds upon scientific research of complex adaptive systems to present a handbook for project managers and executives faced with the challenge of monitoring and controlling agile projects.”Kevin J.J. Aguanno, PMP®, MAPM IBM Certified Senior Project Manager IBM Global Services, IBM Canada, Ltd.”I read this book and immediately shared it with a manager of an XP team. It’s got great ideas on how to manage agile teams using a ‘light touch.'”William Wake, Independent Consultant”Agile Project Management, as outlined here, is a key component to building a software development organization that can effectively respond to changing market needs in a timely manner.”-Madhu Garlanka, Sr. Manager, eBusiness Application Development, Nextel Communications”In the hands of another, this class of material could become incoherent, but Sanjiv has enough intellectual power to ground his subject….Fans of APM and those who prefer new ideas as a catalyst for their management approach should find Managing Agile Projects rewarding.”-Wes Balakian, Chairman and Executive Advisor, PMI eBusiness SIGYour Hands-On, “In-the-Trenches” Guide to Successfully Leading Agile ProjectsAgile methods promise to infuse development with unprecedented flexibility, speed, and value-and these promises are attracting IT organizations worldwide.
