The Human Side of Agile: How to Help Your Team Deliver

Does your Agile team experience the following common problems?

Members use established Agile practices and tools, yet with little motivation or buy-in.

Even though the team is cross-functional, members don’t collaborate effectively or leverage everyone’s abilities.

Rather than act empowered, they wait for permission and approval.

Improvement has stalled – the team performs okay, but it can do so much better.

You can’t solve these problems with more practices, rules, and tools. These are people problems.

If you’re a ScrumMaster, project manager, delivery lead, or manager – or if you aspire to be – you can make all the difference to your Agile team. Not by being a taskmaster, administrator, or process enforcer, but by leading your team to greatness. Take this book on your Agile leadership journey, and it will help you to:

Build and cultivate an engaged team that can handle almost any challenge

Catalyze team communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement

Establish yourself as a confident and capable leader who adds value

Reap the full benefits of Agile in the real world with real people
