Agile Project Management QuickStart Guide: A Simplified Beginners Guide To Agile Project Management

After spending a lot time wondering why our project always get off track. I finally found this book. I read the whole thing in a couple days and it was such an easy read!!I spent the next day outlining a project definition to present for discussion at our next meeting. So many light bulbs went off while reading this book of things we can do differently. I also had a lot of "Duh! Why didn't I think of that?!" moments. If we would have done a few of these things on past projects, it would have saved us months. I found this book covered a good foundation of the basics and leadership skills needed to complete a large project. This book gives a clear understanding of all key responsibilities, activities, and expectations from Project Management. Also it provides a good shape (without any overloading by vast details) of the major skills and expertise in which a Project Manager should have. It delivers as promised: concise, precise, and easy to read. Perfect starting point for someone new to the science of project management.Disclosure: I received this product for free or on a promotional discount for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions.

Pretty basic; good if you're not familiar with Agile at all.

This is a thoroughly researched book and it hits on all of the key concepts, but the writing is clunky at times and really only helpful to someone who has zero prior knowledge of Agile concepts. I guess it lives up to its "simplified beginners guide" subtitle, but I guess I was hoping for something a little more instructional and less expository.

While an Project Management student, I have learned the ins and outs of the design approach v the souple| approach. It is important to have familiarity with both because the waterfall strategy might be more of a safe route but more and more companies are looking for project managers who are able to utilize the agile approach. My spouse and I currently taking Project Management in construction related fields, and sizable portion of our time has been spent learning agile methods. However,My spouse and I disliked the book we were being forced to read for our class. The Writer uses unnecessary jargon besides making things more complicated than it really must be. We would spend more time researching the terminology then we would learning what we were suppose to. This book is by far so much better, by a long shot! The details are clear, and straight forward to understand. The author an amazing job of explaining things thoroughly and little by little expanding on the principles of Project management. We have been able to better focus our time on what is actually being taught; this book has done wonders for us in understanding the material for class.I did receive this product in exchange for my genuine, unbiased review.
