If you have an interest in agility but you're not working specifically in IT, this book is for you.

It shows how agile principles can be adapted and applied in almost any sector to manage projects more effectively. It explains what agility looks like for ALL aspects of the management of projects - from leadership, roles and responsibilities through planning, implementation, change control, risk management and more.

Whether you're a new or seasoned project professional, or an executive or senior manager seeking to generate value by bringing agility beyond the IT department, Adrian Pyne shows you how an organization can become agile for projects, and what that journey looks like.

Based on over 30 years' experience and drawing on case studies from multiple sectors, this is the essential guide to managing projects more effectively at a time when agility and sustainability matter more than ever.

The author of books on programme management and agile governance and assurance, he has contributed to the evolution of programme, portfolio and PMO standards and is a regular speaker, visiting lecturer, blogger and researcher.
