Agile project management

Agile project management methods such as Scrum have fundamentally changed the way many companies work in recent years, particularly in the software industry. Jörg Preussig's book explains the basics and variants of agile project management. Instead of managing projects according to rigid plans, agile project managers take a nimble and flexible approach. The fact that requirements are constantly changing is accepted and, where possible, used to readjust the focus. The teams organize themselves and a range of unconventional techniques help them to achieve their goals quickly and efficiently. For example, meetings are held standing up and with a stopwatch, or planning poker is played to estimate the effort required for a task. Preussig's book is cleverly structured, reads quickly, offers a useful glossary, case studies and concrete examples. getAbstract recommends it to project managers in all industries who have only known agility as a buzzword until now.getAbstract rating: 8Implementability: 9Innovation level: 6Style: 8
