A book on the new techniques of agile management

 

Many businesses find themselves working on a project-by-project basis in a constantly changing and often unpredictable environment. This situation must be addressed through a change in outlook and approach,  which is not always easy to implement. In light of this, it may be helpful to read ‘La gestione efficace dei progetti in contesti di cambiamento. I vantaggi dell’Agile Project Management’ (Effective project management in changing contexts: The benefits of Agile Project Management) by Robert B. Dilts and Guido Granchi.

The book explores the Scrum Framework, the world’s most widely used agile methodology, through theory and practice, and explains how it can be used to effectively manage complex projects in dynamic environments. It is therefore a kind of ‘toolkit’ for those who need to manage business activities while dealing with change and unpredictable situations.

The book is split in four parts. The first part of the book focuses on the differences between traditional and agile approaches. It also provides an opportunity to assess one’s organisation’s situation and select the most suitable approach for a project.
The second part, on the other hand, guides the reader through the roles involved in an agile project. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the working groups involved in carrying out the project. Furthermore, readers are not merely taken on a theoretical journey;  numerous practical examples of best practice in self-organisation, collaboration, and effective conflict management are also provided.

The third and fourth parts of the book provide an in-depth examination of the practical components and phases of the proposed working method.

This work by Robert B. Dilts and Guido Granchi is a cross between a practical guide  and a theoretical exploration of a business management approach that is both technical and cultural. And one that must be understood as such.
