Essentials of Agile Transformation : Practical Insights on Agile for the New Age Organization

Whether you are just starting or in the midst of your Agile journey, in Essentials of Agile Transformation, Urmila Kandha provides a wealth of information to guide you in your pursuit towards agile transformation. While there are several aspects that make Urmila's book distinct from other agile books in the market, one that stands out most is her focus on the significance of human factors in successful agile transformation! The book compiles a comprehensive collection of practical advice not only from Urmila's own rich experience with guiding different projects, teams, and organisations, but also from the experience of leading experts in the industry. I love the way that Urmila brings the book to life through meaningful conversations with several experts. I bet you will learn something from every chapter!

Essentials of Agile Transformation is a great book. It has highlighted the most important aspect of any change and Agile Transformation is no difference. Managing the culture change is the most important aspect for success. Urmila has done a great job of highlighting the essence of Agile Transformation is People and not any other process or tools. This is a book which should be read by all senior management to be able to be achieve greater success in their change initiatives. I would go one step ahead and say that whatever is mentioned in this book is applicable to any change initiative or Transformation and not just Agile Transformation. The lucid flow of the expression, the key takeaways, the 2 Cents from experience and the Leaders Speak gives an all-round view and makes it more interesting and easy to understand. I recommend this to be read by all senior and mid-level management who are leading any change. The knowledge that Urmila shares here is priceless and cannot be compared with the price of the book.
