Does your agile project feel like a death march, with immovable deadlines, long backlogs, and no time to do the work right? If so, you're not alone. Fake agility has your project by the throat and won't let go.

You don't have to work like this. Instead, you can design your approach to manage the project, product, and organizational risks.

Neither a waterfall nor an agile approach fits all projects in all organizations. Given your risks, use your culture to create as much agility as possible. You can design your project lifecycle and deliver what your customers need.

This book will help you learn how to:

· Assess your project, product, and organization risks that affect how you can choose to work.

· Determine which feedback loops and decisions your project and product need for success.

· Recognize an agile team culture and characteristics.

· When to consider which lifecycle.

· How to design a lifecycle that works for you in this project, with this team, for this product, with as much agility as possible.

Don't settle for fake agility and a joyless workplace. Buy this book now to incorporate real agility into your work.
