More value from less work.

An unstoppable business revolution is under way - and it is Agile. Companies that embrace Agile Management learn to connect everyone and everything...all the time. They can deliver instant, intimate, frictionless value on a large scale.

Agile began emerging many decades ago, but truly took off in the software development industry. Sparking dramatic improvements in quality, innovation, and speed-to-market, the Agile movement is now spreading quickly throughout all kinds of companies. It enables a team, a unit, or an enterprise to nimbly adapt and upgrade products and services to meet rapidly changing technology and customer needs. And the process is applicable anywhere—companies don’t need to be born Agile, like Spotify. Even centuries-old Barclays is making the transition and reaping rewards.

Filled with examples from every sector, The Age of Agile helps readers:

Master the three laws of Agile Management (team, customer, network)
Embrace the new mindset
Overcome constraints
Employ meaningful metrics
Make the entire organization Agile
And more

With this breakthrough approach, even global giants can learn to act entrepreneurially. Their future depends on it.

Agile is a vital part of the future

Reviewed in Australia on 4 February 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a very thoughtful book detailing the stark contrast between the old work of work dominated by profit driven people and the new world of work that is about delighting the customer in financially sustainable ways.

I like how this book shows why Agile principles work and are useable by anyone and how the old ways of working don't work and aren't sustainable.

What's missing from this book for me is the acknowledgement that Agile is not the way (nothing is) rather a proven principle we can all apply in our own best way for the good of ourselves, other people and our planet.

Best book on Agile I've read

Reviewed in Australia on 26 February 2018

Best book I've read on Agile, with some excellent commentary on business, and how business is run. Many, many lessons for teams, for Agile and for business. Will be buying many more copies to give to people to read.

Really great book with lots of nice examples of companies that have moved to agile. There are a number of case studies and interviews with people who actually implemented agile in their organisations (e.g. Microsoft and SRI).

Letto e riletto varie volte, sia per utilizzare alcuni spunti durante i miei progetti (il NABC è entrato a pieno titolo tra i miei approcci preferiti), sia per riflettere su dove sta andando il mondo del lavoro di oggi.
E' una lettura che consiglio caldamente a quanti quotidianamente vanno al lavoro anche con l'obiettivo di migliorarlo continuamente allo scopo di incidere, perchè no, sulla società odierna.
L'autore, Stephen Denning, vi offre, ve lo assicuro, una quantità di spunti.
Solo leggendo i titoli dei paragrafi della prima parte (1. Più valore da meno lavoro, 2. La legge della piccola squadra, 3. La legge del Cliente, 4.la legge del Network, 6. From operational to strategic agility, 7 Changing the organizational culture) sono sicuro che vi verrà voglia di approfondire e vi assicuro che anche la seconda parte dedicata all'analisi di alcune trappole che hanno minato la costruzione di molti business non vi deluderà.
Infine davvero niente male l'agenda per le azioni future dedicate ai diversi interlocutori in azienda e regolatori dei settori.
Davvero fortemente consigliato.

We are living in an era that requires agile organizations

Reviewed in Brazil on 9 August 2019

Embracing agile is needed with great Small Teams, Customer focus, and teams of teams working in a Network of professionals.
According to Stephen Denning, "The new paradigm enables organizations to thrive in a world of rapid and unpredictable change. It enables a team, a unit, or an entire enterprise to nimble adapt and upgrade products and services to meet rapdly changing technology and customer needs with efficency gains, quality improvments, or even completely new products and services. It permits an organization to flourish in a marketplace that is incresingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous - the so called VUCA word."

For managers and change agents who want to make the agile transformation a success

Reviewed in Germany on 23 June 2018

I listened to this book on audible and I found it one of the best books for agile I read. Especially the reflection on the impact of our shareholder value driven company management has been explained very well and gave new perspectives what has to change in our companies. Beside this it gives leaders who want to drive for change a number of inspirations what to do and what to avoid.
Great read
