Summary

"An unstoppable business revolution is under way--and it is Agile. Companies that embrace Agile Management learn to connect everyone and everything&all the time. They can deliver instant, intimate, frictionless value on a large scale. Agile began emerging many decades ago, but truly took off in the software development industry. Sparking dramatic improvements in quality, innovation, and speed-to-market, the Agile movement is now spreading quickly throughout all kinds of companies. It enables a team, a unit, or an enterprise to nimbly adapt and upgrade products and services to meet rapidly changing technology and customer needs. And the process is applicable anywhere--companies don't need to be born Agile, like Spotify. Even centuries-old Barclays is making the transition and reaping rewards"--Amazon.com
