Being Agile is your roadmap to successfully adopting Agile methods. Veteran ScrumMaster and Agile Coach Mario Moreira teaches new adopters how to implement a robust Agile methodology for the first time.

Agile is a ubiquitous watchword in the corporate world, but only a minority of companies understand and practice what they pay lip service to. Too many content themselves with half-baked approximations such as Fragile (fragile Agile), ScrumBut (Scrum but not the practices), and ScrumFall (mini-waterfalls in the sprints). Moreira shows maturing early adopters how to bridge the chasm between going through the motions of doing Agile and genuinely being Agile.

After a high-level synopsis of Agile, its methodologies (including Scrum, Kanban, Scrum-ban, and XP), and its business benefits, Moreira plunges into the nitty-gritty of the Agile short release and iteration cycle. He parses the Agile cycle into four integrated aspects: readiness, deployment, support, and adaptation. Under the rubric of readiness, he considers such issues as how to determine the suitability, scalability, and readiness of a given product and team for Agile development and how to establish the scope, done criteria, sizing techniques, success metrics, and training needs for a given Agile project.
