The Professional Agile Leader is a realistic, practical guide written by experienced agile leaders who share their collective experiences in helping agile leaders to grow responsive and adaptive teams. They structure powerful lessons around a case study based on decades of experience helping agile leaders achieve and sustain agile transformation. Best of all, they never settle for high-level hand-waving—they show you how it’s really done. 

Reignite once-successful organizations that have lost their way; 

Form cross-functional teams and empower them with purpose; 

Learn to let go as your teams start taking more responsibility; 

Overcome forces that want to reel you back into the "old rules"; 

Realign the whole organization, since agile and traditional models can’t coexist forever; 

Achieve the most challenging goal of all: changing culture. 

Great agile leaders aren’t born that way—they’re regular people who care deeply about helping others achieve shared goals and have discovered a better way to lead. Whatever your role in the organization, this guide will help you master those skills and mindsets a whole lot faster.
