Mitch Lacey presents easily digestible and infinitely practical tips toward successful Agile adoption with Scrum. Agile adoption should not be entered into lightly. On the surface, it looks simple and sounds great, but the reality is that many unforeseen challenges await a team that is new to Agile. Teams can muddle through the experience and try to succeed, or they can borrow from the experience of others who have come throughand succeeded! The author has spent considerable time coaching teams that are evolving to Agile. He inevitably discovers that the teams are facing the problems that he faced when he was new to Agile. New teams struggle with building a release plan, identifying and prioritizing requirements, and creating potentially releasable software within an iteration. Through poignant examples and real-world case studies, the book provides a roadmap to successful Agile adoption. It consistently helps readers understand where they are now, and where they are headed next.
