Riassunto

"This is one of the most important Agile books since The Phoenix Project." 

?Charles Betz, author, instructor, and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research 

Drive real change through actual business outcomes, not rigid practices and a handful of buzzwords.

Being Agile isn’t the goal; the true goal is successful outcomes. And successful outcomes come from embracing business principles that engender high-performing organizations, not from following a formula. 

The award-winning Sooner Safer Happier lays the foundation for achieving what truly matters: delivering better value sooner, safer, and happier. Every chapter of this practical guide to business success clearly articulates the typical ways of working that organizations get wrong (antipatterns) and quickly follows them with what to do right (patterns). Each pattern helps empower teams and leaders and allows the organization as a whole to break free of prescribed Agile practices to achieve true agility and success.

Anyone looking to drive successful business outcomes needs this book on their desk to dip into over and over again.

“This is a realistic approach to adopting (or not adopting) agile in your organization. The theory is sound; the practice is extensive. I strongly recommend this book.”

—Dave Snowden, Chief Scientific Officer, Cognitive Edge, Creator of Cynefin

“Sooner Safer Happier is a must-read for any business leader looking to succeed in the digital age.”

—David Silverman, co-author of Team of Teams
