  The popularity of agile development methodologies continues to increase, as

  developers and technical managers have seen the benefits of incorporating

  flexibility in development projects. However, agility advocates still struggle to

  gain business management support for their initiatives. The reluctance of

  business management to truly embrace agility stems from a disconnect between

  the assumptions and techniques of traditional management and those of the

  new agile development methodologies. The purpose of this book is to provide

  management a framework with supporting evidence that directly addresses this

  need. While conventional wisdom states that agile methods are not scaleable,

  the author shares proof that it can be applied to large-scale development

  projects. Furthermore, he aligns the adoption of agile methods to cutting-edge

  business management practices. The end result is a practical book that will help

  organizations overcome their institutional reluctance and reap the significant

  benefit of agile methods.
