What if Agile transformation wasn\u2019t just about software development methodologies? What if Agile transformation was really about an enterprise-wide cultural transformation rooted in a mindset shift across the organization? What if it was really about going from a project-mindset to a product-mindset? And what if management was the key to that transformation? Pursuing Timeless Agility: the Path to Lasting Agile Transformation confronts the mistakes of \u201ccommon wisdom\u201d around Agile, challenges the prevailing mindset for what success looks like in product development and smartly guides management, coaches, and transformation leaders toward Timeless Agility.<\/p>\n

What You Will Learn:
\nThe mistakes of \u201ccommon wisdom\u201d
\nWhich mistakes you are making
\nWhat you do matters, but why you do it matters more
\nManagement is the key to Agile transformation
\nHow Mindset Transcends Methodology\u2122
\nPractical and effective steps forward<\/p>\n

\u201dReading through the book it\u2019s easy to identify with the problems stated and then get a new perspective on the issue \u2013 and some possible solutions, or at least a new way to think about the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dI wish this book existed years ago when I worked for a company that desperately needed a culture shift.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dBuy one book for yourself and one for your boss!\u201d<\/p>\n

Why This Book is Different:
\nAgile transformation is an enterprise-wide effort. It goes far beyond new frameworks and practices within software development teams. Rather, it is rooted in mindset and culture transformation that redefines what success looks like in product development, which is why management and leadership is key to Agile transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see so many of the challenges my organization is facing in this book\u2026This would be a great \u2018book club\u2019 book for your product team or program managers leading Agile transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dWhat you do matters; why you do it matters more.\u201d Agile is a mindset that enables organizations to continuously find better ways to do, experience, learn, and adjust so that they can discover and deliver the next right thing sooner. It\u2019s moving away from project thinking and toward product thinking. This book will help you achieve that objective and find appropriate ways to measure success.<\/p>\n

\u201dThis book should be required reading for leaders looking to implement Agile in their organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n

How the Book Flows:
\nThe first half of this book uses third-party data to define the problem by contrasting what Agile really is with what many think it is. It demonstrates the reasons why many choose Agile, how they choose to \u201cdo\u201d Agile, and how they have strayed from its true meaning and intent. Using a series of relatable metaphorical examples and real case studies, the book helps management, leadership, coaches, and other transformation leaders understand where their current organizational values, mindset, and practices sit within that spectrum.<\/p>\n

The back half of the book guides the reader through proven approaches to getting their organization on track for lasting Agile (cultural) transformation; for Timeless Agility. The reader will learn how to assess their starting point, how to smartly transform teams and management to properly scale, and then how to identify and track success measures that provide useful context and value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
