I loved the James Edge's work.

Great book! I loved LeMay's pragmatic approach to the concept of Agile, and most of all, his consistent focus on the most important part of any Agile strategy: the human being taking part in it.

Excellent book on how to coordinate and manage.

I read this book and it shed some light on the agile project management system. The book introduces what Agile PM is and many other things about project management. I took down some notes about it since I think it is sensible and practical. I was able to easily grasp the idea. I learned so much just from reading this.Excellent book on how to coordinate and manage projects. I can definitely see how applying this in a business setting would boost productivity.

Well-written and informative.

Agile as a movement, culture will undermine the best frameworks, and thinking critically about the role customers play in your business. It wasn't long after reading this book that I began noticing the ways in which Matt's clear and concise discussion of key points began filtering into my thinking. He not only makes common ideas clear, he challenges the reader to think deeper about these ideas so they can be more authentically and effectively applied to our work

It offers to traditional management.

An Essential Guide to Agile Project Management is an incredible field guide to help us navigate a customer-centric VUCA world of rapid and complex change. It provides history, business and economic context, practical applications, short and longer term case studies and most important of all, insights around mindset which are at the heart of Agile and the Agile Manifesto.

Nice One

I purchased the audible version since I enjoy listening to it on my phone. I thought it was written in a way that was easy to understand. There were also many resources listed in the book that you can use for tailoring your projects. I am new to project management so I appreciated this read.

Good Guide

Preparing to take the PMP exam. This is great if you work in an Agile environment. It is a good overview and study guide for the exam as well.

Good starter

Great way to gain a basic understanding of agile project management methodologies. This book was short enough for me to make it through it, but long enough to ensure I understand.

Good Summary.

This is a good quick summary/overview of agile and scrum. Three hours in the narrator takes a huge breath or sneezes into the mic.
