Software in 30 Days

A radical approach to getting IT projects done faster and
cheaper than anyone thinks possible
Software in 30 Days summarizes the Agile and Scrum
software development method, which allows creation of game-changing
software, in just 30 days. Projects that use it are three times
more successful than those that don't. Software in 30 Days
is for the business manager, the entrepreneur, the product
development manager, or IT manager who wants to develop software
better and faster than they now believe possible. Learn how this
unorthodox process works, how to get started, and how to succeed.
Control risk, manage projects, and have your people succeed with
simple but profound shifts in the thinking.
The authors explain powerful concepts such as the art of the
possible, bottom-up intelligence, and why it's good to fail
early--all with no risk greater than thirty days.

development. Programmers will want to buy copies for their managers

best work possible.
