The goal of this book is to explain and facilitate the journey to Agile.

Becoming agile is an ongoing journey. As the global environment changes, and becomes more complex and more uncertain, the importance of increasing agility and developing an agile mindset grows. The goal of this book is to explain and facilitate the journey. We explore agile values, practices, and principles that can help people cope with volatile and ambiguous situations. Agile values improve processes and promote communication in an organization. Agile practices advance innovation through high-performance multidisciplinary teams.

Our idea to author a book about becoming agile grew from a desire to help our students and others start down an agile path and begin an agile journey. Our students work on information technology (IT), information systems (IS), or business analytics projects, so we explain the basics of agile teams and agile methods in this book, but we take a broader approach and explore personal and organizational agility, as well as processes for agile teams.

Agile is not a single, monolithic framework or method, rather at best, it is a family of processes that try to deliver the values and principles of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. The goal of generalizing prior agile ideas, updating, broadening, and making accessible the Manifesto values and principles has guided us. Our own successes and failures with agile have also informed our thinking. Questions like the need for a formal team leader versus emergent leadership remain unresolved. In designing the plan for this book, we were guided by the traditional agile software development literature, especially a framework called Scrum.

Agile is about learning to anticipate and respond appropriately to the unexpected. Being agile is about interactions with people that result in successfully completing work tasks and meeting objectives. Agile is not about blindly moving faster, rather it is about continuous flexibility and learning. This book is targeted to advanced students and managers who are interested in learning to be agile. This accessible practical text poses 30 questions and provides answers that provide a starting point for further reflection.
