<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Agile has the power to transform work--but only if it's implemented the right way.</b></p><p>For decades business leaders have been painfully aware of a huge chasm: They aspire to create nimble, flexible enterprises. But their day-to-day reality is silos, sluggish processes, and stalled innovation. Today, <i>agile</i> is hailed as the essential bridge across this chasm, with the potential to transform a company and catapult it to the head of the pack. <p>Not so fast. In this clear-eyed, indispensable book, Bain & Company thought leader Darrell Rigby and his colleagues Sarah Elk and Steve Berez provide a much-needed reality check. They dispel the myths and misconceptions that have accompanied agile's rise to prominence--the idea that it can reshape an organization all at once, for instance, or that it should be used in every function and for all types of work. They illustrate that agile teams can indeed be powerful, making people's jobs more rewarding and turbocharging innovation, but such results are possible only if the method is fully understood and implemented the right way.</p><p>The key, they argue, is <i>balance</i>. Every organization must optimize and tightly control some of its operations, and at the same time innovate. Agile, done well, enables vigorous innovation without sacrificing the efficiency and reliability essential to traditional operations. The authors break down how agile really works, show what not to do, and explain the crucial importance of scaling agile properly in order to reap its full benefit. They then lay out a road map for leading the transition to a truly agile enterprise.</p><p>Agile isn't a goal in itself; it's a means to becoming a high-performance operation. <i>Doing Agile Right</i> is a must-have guide for any company trying to make the transition--or trying to sustain high agility.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Named one of the Top Ten Technology Books Of 2020 — <i>Forbes</i></b></p><p><b>Named one of Ten Mind-Opening Business Books for 2020 by <i>Forbes</i></b></p><p><b>Shortlisted for the OWL (Outstanding Works of Literature) Awards in Management and Culture</b></p><p>I highly encourage you to...consider reading <i>Doing Agile Right</i>, a wonderful book with numerous use cases that highlight how agile really works, what to avoid, the importance of scaling agile correctly to gain full benefits. — <b>ZDNet</b></p><p>Advance Praise for <b><i>Doing Agile Right</i></b>: </p><p><i>Doing Agile Right</i> resists extremes and introduces a much-needed, balanced model.
