The Human Side of Agile - How to Help Your Team Deliver
Does your Agile team experience the following common problems?
- Members use established Agile practices and tools, yet with little motivation or buy-in.
- Even though the team is cross-functional, members donâ€™t collaborate effectively or leverage everyoneâ€™s abilities.
- Rather than act empowered, they wait for permission and approval.
- Improvement has stalled â€” the team performs okay, but it can do so much better.
You canâ€™t solve these problems with more practices, rules, and tools. These are people problems.

If youâ€™re a ScrumMaster, project manager, delivery lead, or manager â€” or you aspire to be â€” you can make all the difference to your Agile team. Not by being a taskmaster, administrator, or process enforcer, but by leading your team to greatness. Take this book on your Agile leadership journey, and it will help you to:
- Build and cultivate an engaged team that can handle almost any challenge
- Catalyze team communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement
- Establish yourself as a confident and capable leader who adds value
- Reap the full benefits of Agile in the real world with real people

â€œI just found the next must-read book for our entire leadership team.â€™

â€œAgile teams need effective leaders who â€˜getâ€™ the people stuff. Without that youâ€™re merely going through the Agile motions.â€™

â€œHow Can I Help the Team Buy In?â€
â€œWhat If I Can't Work Full-Time as the Teamâ€™s Leader?â€
â€œWhat Actions Will Build the Team's Trust in Me?â€
â€œHow Can I Mitigate the Damage of Performance Reviews?â€
â€œWhat If a Member Doesn't Fit With the Team?â€
â€œHow Can We Focus on Our Work With So Many Meetings?â€
â€œHow Do I Get Stakeholders and Managers on My Side?â€
