Project management must move faster, become more flexible, and become far more responsive to customers. Agile Project Management (APM) makes this possible, offering principles and practices that help project managers to catch up with the realities of modern product development. World-renowned agile pioneer Jim Highsmith has thoroughly updated his classic guide to APM, extending and refining it to support even the largest projects and organizations. Writing for project leaders, managers, and executives at all levels, Highsmith integrates the best project management, manufacturing, and software development practices into an overall framework designed to support unprecedented speed and mobility. Among the many topics added in this new edition: incorporating agile values, scaling agile projects, release planning, portfolio governance, and enhancing organizational agility. Project and business leaders will especially appreciate Highsmith's new coverage of promoting agility through performance measurements based on value, quality, and constraints. Agile Project Management, 2/e , also presents recent metrics demonstrating the true benefits of agile methods, as well as expanded advice on when agile methods will work in project management, and when they won't.
