Is your team stretched to the limit, with no time to tackle technical debt or try out new ways of working?
Do you wish that you could focus your energy on creating amazing software rather than endlessly firefighting? Better Agile condenses years of experience into a short, practical guide, so that you can quickly make agile work for you.
How to get the full benefits of agile fast, even if you tried before and didn’t get the results you wanted
Perhaps you have already tried to adopt an agile method or technique, hoping it would fix these problems. But maybe you found that it didn’t give you the benefits you were expecting, or solve the challenges you are facing.
This book provides you with the solution: it’s a short guide, loaded with clear explanations and practical examples, that will help you to quickly identify and implement improvements that will work for your team. It covers:
- The three essential secrets of how to make agile work for you. Rather than giving you a dry history of agile and its benefits, these three secrets cut through the buzzwords and hype to explain the fundamental principles that are key to every successful agile implementation. By understanding them, you will immediately be able to spot the best ways to boost your team’s agility and implement them fast.
- 10-minute overviews of Scrum and Kanban. These are the most popular agile development methods, and these quick overviews will show you how to achieve the best results with them.
- The 10 mistakes you need to avoid. Save yourself time and stress by learning from other people’s mistakes rather than your own, giving you more time to actually implement improvements.
- A simple way to decide between Scrum and Kanban. In just a few pages, learn how you can make the best choice for your situation, including the option of using both!
- A 5-minute agility self-assessment. This simple but powerful questionnaire immediately tells you the quick-wins you can implement without needing a huge budget or buy-in from your management, which means you can get started straightaway.
- 55 of the best coaching questions you can ask yourself or your team to drive change. The easiest way to inspire change is by asking the right questions rather than trying to tell people what to do. With these questions you can make change happen without feeling like you are fighting against the rest of your company.

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 Bahamut Media, Wallingford, United Kingdom, 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.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
