SynopsisTraditional, hierarchical organizations struggle to keep pace with fastmoving markets. But they struggle even more to change. How do you break down chains of command and rebuild something better? Increasingly, smart companies are turning to Agile Management. With Agile, networks of small, crossfunctional teams tackle tasks in short cycles, continually adjusting for customer feedback. When done right, even global giants can learn to act entrepreneurially. The Age of Agile clearly explains how
Agile works, provides examples of the method in practice, and shows how to scale it companywide to become more adaptive and innovative.
? Agile is best known for revolutionizing software development.While the methodology has crossed into other industries,books on the topic remained geared toward software audiences. This is the first book to explain the broader potential of Agile in a simple, compelling way.

For example, when Ericsson adopted Agile for its telecom networks, hundreds of small teams began working with customers to test and tweak parts of the system as it was being built. The result? The company shaves 12 years from its former fiveyear cycle, gets revenue more quickly
