The Agile Enterprise, livre ebook

A group of eminent software developers gathered at a Colorado ski lodge in 2001, codifying The Agile Manifesto, a philosophy for efficiently accomplishing technical work. In this accessible, real-world-example-laden, and unexpectedly entertaining book, The Agile Enterprise explains how to apply The Agile Manifesto's ideas company-wide.

The wisdom imparted in The Agile Enterprise teaches students to decompose large problems into manageable chunks, helps managers find their value among self-managing teams, and enables executives to measure and recognize success in their own Agile Enterprises.
