Are you still developing using old and slow methodologies? Save time, reduce costs, and increase product quality by developing with the Agile methodology!

The Agile methodology is a project management methodology that uses short development cycles (called "sprints") to focus on continuous improvement in the development of a product or service. It consists of a family of methods (including Scrum, extreme programming (XP), test-driven development (TDD), and feature-driven development (FDD), each of which has the objective to provide a better product in less time, avoiding development of useless functions and overcoming errors that a traditional planning method could result in, both for big and small projects.

The purpose of the Agile methodology is to optimize the development process and to identify and quickly correct problems and defects leading to a smarter and more effective product.

In this book, Mark W. Wilk will show you:

• What Agile method is and how it works
• What Scrum, Kanban, and Lean are
• How to build an Agile team and how to define Agile roles
