商品描述

As an Agile team leader, your biggest challenge is also your biggest asset.

The human side of Agile is tricky. It's the least manageable, understood, and appreciated asset in an Agile environment. Even if your customers are reasonably happy and your developers seem to be doing okay, you know your team is capable of more: delivering great products and staying ahead of ever-changing demands.

You need a team that’s self-organized, energetic, and flexible, even in tough situations. But how do you build it and lead it?

Whether you're a ScrumMaster, project manager, functional manager, or team leader, you want to feel good about using Agile and to create the conditions for great results. But the project management skills you honed in traditional environments don't always apply to the role of Agile team leader. The Human Side of Agile fills this gap, guiding you to:
  • Establish yourself as a confident and capable leader who adds value
  • Build and lead an engaged team that can handle almost any challenge
  • Cultivate collaboration and a continuous improvement mind-set
  • Reap the full benefits of Agile in the real world with real people
"I just found the next must-read book for our entire leadership team."
Tricia Broderick, Director of Development, TechSmith

"This book is up there with Peopleware, with concrete examples you can use immediately."
Dave Rooney, Sherpa, Shopify

"Agile teams need effective leaders who 'get' the people stuff. Without that you're merely going through the Agile motions."
Scott W. Ambler, co-creator of Disciplined Agile Delivery

While readable from cover to cover, the book is written as practical answers to the 80+ most relevant and pressing questions that team leaders ask, such as:

“How Can I Help the Team Buy In?”
“What If I Can't Work Full-Time as the Team’s Leader?”
“What Actions Will Build the Team's Trust in Me?”
“How Can I Mitigate the Damage of Performance Reviews?”
“What If a Member Doesn't Fit With the Team?”
“How Can We Focus on Our Work With So Many Meetings?”
“How Do I Get Stakeholders and Managers on My Side?”
“How Can I Make Changes Stick?”
“How Do We Avoid Reverting to Old Behaviors?”

商品描述(中文翻譯)

作為一個敏捷團隊的領導者,你最大的挑戰也是你最大的資產。

敏捷的人性面是棘手的。在敏捷環境中,它是最難管理、理解和欣賞的資產。即使你的客戶相對滿意,你的開發人員似乎也做得不錯,你知道你的團隊能夠做得更好:交付出色的產品並在不斷變化的需求中保持領先。

你需要一個在困難情況下仍然能夠自我組織、充滿活力和靈活的團隊。但是你如何建立它並領導它呢?

無論你是ScrumMaster、專案經理、職能經理還是團隊領導者,你希望在使用敏捷方法並創造出良好結果的條件下感到滿意。但是你在傳統環境中磨練的專案管理技能並不總是適用於敏捷團隊領導者的角色。《敏捷的人性面》填補了這一空白,指導你:

- 建立自信和能力的領導者,為團隊增加價值
- 建立和領導一個能夠應對幾乎任何挑戰的團隊
- 培養協作和持續改進的思維方式
- 在現實世界中與真實人員充分享受敏捷的全部好處

“我剛剛找到了我們整個領導團隊下一本必讀的書。”
- Tricia Broderick,TechSmith開發總監

“這本書與《人軟體》一樣,提供了可以立即使用的具體例子。”
- Dave Rooney,Shopify嚮導

“敏捷團隊需要懂得人事問題的有效領導者。如果沒有這一點,你只是在敷衍敏捷的過程。”
- Scott W. Ambler,紀律敏捷交付的共同創造者

雖然可以從頭到尾閱讀這本書,但它實際上是對團隊領導者最重要和最迫切的80多個問題提供實用答案的書籍,例如:

- “我如何幫助團隊接受?”
- “如果我不能全職擔任團隊的領導者怎麼辦?”
- “什麼行動可以建立團隊對我的信任?”
- “我如何減輕績效評估的損害?”
- “如果一個成員不適合團隊怎麼辦?”
- “在如此多的會議中,我們如何專注於工作?”
- “如何讓利益相關者和管理者站在我這邊?”
- “我如何使變革持久?”
- “我們如何避免回到舊有的行為模式?”
