Agile Life: Understanding agile in a non-software contextThis is an attempt to approach the agile manifesto and the principles form a different angle. There is no limit for the application of Agile. It can be applied from salt to software, samosa to satellite. Agile is a way of life. Chapters are arranged in the same sequence as that of Agile Manifesto items and principles behind it. At the end of each session there are additional pages with Agile Manifesto and principles. We will be able to map them to the chapters that we have gone through. This book is introducing the concepts with examples from day-to-day life that anyone can understand. No software knowledge or agile experience is required to follow this book. |
