Lynda Girvan is a business consultant, trainer, coach, author and practitioner. Her particular strength is applying Agile mindset and concepts outside software development to help organisations become adaptive. Simon Girvan is an experienced Agile coach with over 20 years experience as a practitioner and Agile leader working mainly in the public sector.

Agile exists as both a collection of practices and the principles that underlie those practices. Teams need both. But practices change over time—today’s state of the art is passé tomorrow. And while agile practices may change, the principles never do. That’s what makes this book so valuable. Lynda and Simon provide plenty of time-proven practical advice—specific things you can begin doing immediately. But practices are always presented with a helpful dose of principles. You’ll finish this book knowing what to do today and how to adapt those practices in the future.
