About this book
Agile is a mindset and a culture that has evolved beyond software development to encompass all forms of project management, business organizations, defense, and society. In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, adopting an Agile approach is essential for organizations to thrive and maintain competitiveness. This book aims to extend the concept of Agility beyond the four declarations of the Manifesto and apply it to various projects, organizations, and even society. The book delves into the intricacies of Agile and highlights its significance in modern workplaces. It emphasizes that Agile is more than just a set of tools and techniques; it is a way of thinking and a culture that requires a deep understanding of psychology and sociology.
Key topics discussed:
• Agility as a leadership characteristic and the meta-mind of Agile
• Agile mind map beyond the manifesto and methods
• Psychological frameworks (Maslow, TA, MBTI, Left-Right, Slow-Fast) relevant to Agile work and psychosocial games at work
• Psychological development and Composite Agile Method and Strategy (CAMS)
• Agile organizational structures and behaviors
• Agile Transformations in the Digital Age
This book is valuable for Agile coaches, mentors, and Scrum Masters looking for more comprehensive answers than what an Agile framework can provide. It is also helpful for business leaders, stakeholders, and product owners who need to deal with ambiguous or unclear issues, as well as project managers and team leaders who already have experience in Agile but feel like something is missing. Additionally, HR professionals and trainers involved in Agile transformation can benefit from this book.
