Agile for business

Are you struggling to implement Agile methodologies orculture within your company? Are people demandingdetailed plans and follow-ups? Is there a chasm betweenbusiness operations and the IT department?These questions can be continuously raised - but luckily thisbook is here to help! The original concept came about afterrepeatedly getting questions from businesses about what Agile isand what value it brings.
