Synopsis

The world is changing faster than ever. Are you ready?

Are you confused by the plethora of ‘Agile’ terminology flying around at the moment? And is Agile Project Management even possible?

Do you feel there must be a simpler way to cope with this everchanging world? Professionally and personally?

There is! The Agile Project Manager makes achieving your desired outcome a reality by breaking down the key principles of Agile Project Management, allowing you to take concepts previously reserved for software delivery and easily apply them to whatever you have going on at the moment, whether it is a large professional initiative or a personal project. Agile is about simplicity. And The Agile Project Manager will show you how simple getting great results can be. Agile Project Management is more about mindset than it is about the concepts themselves. The Agile Project Manager helps you with both, equipping you with tangible takeaways that you can implement immediately and get amazing results.

About this title

About the Author

An experienced project manager, Agile enthusiast and coach, Emma is passionate about all things that involve change and people. She has been delivering projects for over fifteen years and founded a coaching business in 2011. Since then she has been seeking ways to ‘converge’ her passions for projects and change, and human behaviour. Emma feels strongly that in this increasingly complex world, we are losing the human aspect of project and change management. We are prioritising tools and templates over relationships and human interaction. It is getting harder to take the time to meet with someone face to face to understand their concerns when there are a million spreadsheets waiting to be completed and new processes that need to be followed. Her goal with The Agile Project Manager is to provide simple tools and techniques that assist project professionals to achieve project success. These tools and techniques are all about you, the reader, because that is where the greatest difference can be made.
