Agile Project Management for Government
The indispensable guide to agile leadership for the public sector
The US Department of Defense canceled a Human Resources project after 12 years of wasted effort: $1bn was written off, costing every US taxpayer $100. The UK government terminated an emergency fire services project, and £469m was written off in a single year. Just one failure amongst many…
Large government technical development projects self-destruct on a regular basis despite intense political scrutiny and detailed audit.
These failures must not continue.
This book explains how agile leadership reduces the risks of failure in Government. It is essential reading for leaders in central, federal and local government and for senior managers in companies with government clients.
Highlights include:
• Reasons why many large change projects have failed and how to ensure yours doesn’t
• The 9 Agile Leadership Behaviors for success!
• The low-down on US and UK government rules, regulations and strategies
• How to lead successful projects using Scrum and DSDM
Written by change management expert Brian Wernham, who has more than 30 years’ experience in adaptive project management, this guide is required reading for leaders in central, federal and local government and for senior managers in companies with government clients.

Review
“a unique, insightful and readable leadership perspective of agile government”
Dot Tudor
Winner of Best Agile Coach Award 2011
“A forceful, evidence-based argument for the role of agile within government.”
Andrew Bragg
CEO, Association for Project Management (APM)
“A wonderful collection of real case studies ... a stream of practical advice ... as broad a scope as one could hope for ... A broad view sorely needed in a field long dominated by dogmatic developers and code-centric softcrafters ... I found myself ‘hooked’ on this and read it cover to cover in a weekend.” - Tom Gilb, the ‘grandfather’ of evolutionary project management.
“An enlightening insight into grand failures and successes in government projects.” Neil Coutts, Director, Project Management Institute (PMI)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to moluna, Greven, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
