Agile for Non-Software Teams

About the book

Have you considered adopting an Agile way of working in your non-software team?

Business agility does not mean using the same processes and practices as your development and IT teams. In fact, the specific practices don’t matter. Being agile is a way of thinking and making choices that can benefit marketing, HR, finance, all parts of the business.

This practical book will help you to…

  • Decide where and how an Agile approach can help you serve the business better
  • Customize and regularly improve an Agile way of working without your having to be a process expert
  • Avoid the many pitfalls that lead to mediocre performance or bounce-backs
  • Feel confident about your choices, even if they are different from what your tech colleagues use

Written by Gil Broza, founder at 3P Vantage and an Agile coach, trainer, and facilitator since 2004.

“This book is at the center of how we teach Lean and Agile foundations today. It really helps the conversations with teams that aren’t software teams to get people to understand how it fits with their context.” — Enterprise Agile Transformation Leader, Fortune 100 company

“Gil has managed to make Agile accessible to everyone.” – Sandy Mamoli, Author of Creating Great Teams, Nomad8

“You will be in the driver’s seat throughout, choosing what fits your situation and unique goals.” – Suzanne Daigle, Business Strategist and Partner, NuFocus Strategic Group

“I wish such a resource had been available at the start of our transformation!” – Heather Francis, Head of Transformation, Roche Canada

Would you like to read a sample? Here is chapter 4, “Determine Where You’ll Try Agile for the First Time”.

Are you a software/IT Agile coach or an Agile transformation team member? Gil’s webinar, “How to Help Your Non-Software Colleagues Adopt Agile”, covers:

  • The steps to take your colleagues through so they’re ready, willing, and able to take on an Agile way of working
  • How to empower them to make Agile-minded choices without being tied to any prescription, tool, or so-called best practices
  • Strategies for avoiding common pitfalls

Listen to podcast interviews on this subject (they are all quite different):
