According to an Allied Market Research study, 63% of respondents stated the failure of agile implementation in their organizations. The problems with Agile start at the top of most organizations with executive leadership not getting what agile is or even knowing the difference between success and failure in agile.    Agile transformation is a journey, and most of that journey consists of people learning and trying new approaches in their own work. An agile organization can make use of coaches and training to improve their chances of success. But even then, failure remains because many Agile ideas are oversimplifications or interpreted in an extreme way, and many elements essential for success are missing. Coupled with other ideas that have been dogmatically forced on teams, such as agile team rooms, and an overall inertia and resistance to change in the Agile community, the Agile movement is ripe for change since its birth twenty years ago.    Agile 2 represents the work of fifteen experienced Agile experts, distilled into Agile 2: The Next Iteration of Agile by seven members of the team. Agile 2 values these pairs of attributes when properly balanced: thoughtfulness and prescription; outcomes and outputs, individuals and teams; business and technical understanding; individual empowerment and good leadership; adaptability and planning. With a new set of Agile principles to take Agile forward over the next 20 years, Agile 2 is applicable beyond software and hardware to all parts of an agile organization including Agile HR, Agile Finance, and so on.    Like the original Agile, Agile 2, is just a set of ideas - powerful ideas. To undertake any endeavor, a single set of ideas is not enough. But a single set of ideas can be a powerful guide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 How Did We Get Here? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Specific Problems 21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Leadership: The Core Issue 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Ingredients That Are Needed 69\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Kinds of Leadership Needed 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 What Effective Collaboration Looks Like 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 It’s All About the Product 181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Product Design and Agile 2 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Moving Fast Requires Real-Time Risk Management 205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 A Transformation is a Journey 245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 DevOps and Agile 2 275\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Agile 2 at Scale 299\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 System Engineering and Agile 2 335\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Agile 2 in Service Domains 363\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Conclusion 383\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 391\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866416591191,"sku":"9781119799276","price":19.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781119799276.jpg?v=1722278539","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/agile-2-9781119799276","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
