This is the Agile book Ive been waiting for. Enough with the rituals of process. Lets get into
what really matterscreating the culture that teams need to thrive.

A book full of practical tools and real-life storiesa great resource for every leader involved
in a serious Agile transformation.
Hendrik Esser, director of portfolio and technology management, Ericsson
What is culture? How do we create a culture? What are our cultural problems? These
questions can have lofty, philosophical, theoretical answers that sound profound. Unfortunately,
profundity rarely gets the job done. The authors have once again broken an important
topic into easily understood parts. Not only do they make the questions understandable, they
provide specific, actionable techniques for answering the questions and addressing the challenges.
This book is as much a how-to as it is a what-is-it and a why-do-I-care book. Everybody
who is in a leadership role, or deals with people in leadership roles (thatd be just about
everyone, right?) should read this.
Steven Doc List, vice president of learning, Santeon Group
The content is phenomenal! Just an incredible distillation of years of experience.
