Agile Project Management
Summary
Have you ever tried your hand at software development only to find out that it’s much harder than you prepared for? Not only do you have to make sure that your skills are at par with everybody else, but there is also the matter of coordinating with everyone involved in that project. And with collaboration comes the potential for complexity. Soon enough, you’ll be juggling different deadlines and correspondences, deal with differences in design approaches, and wade through deep technical problems. Aside from that, you’d have to deal with pressure from investors and stakeholders whose visions your team is trying to translate into something tangible but often get blindsided by last-minute committee decisions. Now, what if you are open to a more agile method of managing projects but find changes in your results to be insignificant? For instance, you might have adopted methodologies like Scrum and XP, but find your team going through the motions of the change instead of fully embracing such.

Lean Six Sigma: Simplified: How to Implement the Six Sigma Methodology to Improve Quality and Speed
Summary
Do you want to get more out of your projects? Do you feel that your current business layout is efficient enough to meet demands while also minimizing waste? Are you a manager that wants your business to make a shift towards becoming more productive while also conserving valuable resources? If your answers to any of these with a yes, then it is time to learn Lean Six Sigma. The production process in any business is defined by two things, waste and product. The latter’s quality must be ensured or improved on while the former must be reduced. What many never realized, however, is that the two things are not only vital to the business. In fact, they are quite related to each other that improving in one aspect will affect the other. All that is necessary, then, is to implement a system that ensures both goals are met sufficiently. This is where the Lean Six Sigma methodology comes in and it makes for a rather simple yet effective strategy to reduce overall waste and improving production quality. In this guide, you will be introduced to several important topics such as: Lean Six Sigma and its main principles. How it combines methods from the Lean and Six Sigma methods. The different approaches to Lean Six Sigma. The potential mistakes that could occur in applying Lean Six Sigma and how to avoid them. The benefits of implementing Lean Six Sigma. How the Method is similar and different from other Lean methodologies. How to implement a Lean Six Sigma into your business. And many more... Lean Six Sigma is best learned on a structured framework. As such, this book has been organized in such a way that you will not only understand the solution but also how to apply the same to your problem. To help you do that, the book also presents information in a practical and not overly complicated manner. In short, if you are the one that wants useful information presented to them minus the pomp and fluff, then this book should be worth the while. Click "Buy Now" and get started.

Scrum Mastery
Summary
Scrum is adaptive, efficient, agile, and simple. So, why are you struggling? Not all organizations that adopt the Scrum framework will have a smooth transition. Some may find themselves grappling with new concepts and new ways of doing things. The work process under Scrum is wildly different from the waterfall method, so even if Scrum is simple to understand, it can be difficult to master. The reasons vary as to why there is resistance to change, but the real reason is the lack of solid understanding of why a change has to be made. The tech industry moves at unprecedented speed in terms of releasing new products to the market. Because the traditional project management methods are slow to respond to the demand, firms are switching gears and integrating Scrum in their process. As a result, people are thrust into a new system that they do not have a clear grasp of. In this audiobook, you’ll be able to understand the Scrum framework and how the concepts work in the real world. You’ll discover: What made traditional methods obsolete How Scrum became the new standard for managing projects How Scrum enables a leaderless system Why Scrum works even with a diverse group of people How Scrum brings together people with different skills and expertise How Scrum enables teams to deliver high-quality products How big companies use Scrum to achieve their goals The book is structured in a way that answers the why, what, who, and how of Scrum to give a holistic view of the framework. It explains elements of the Scrum process, including team roles, workflow, tools, and team dynamics. This will help both novice and experienced practitioners to integrate Scrum into their daily lives. Whether you’re a project manager trying to fit in the new leaderless system, a coder getting used to new responsibilities, or a software engineer grappling with newfound accountability, this book will guide you as you navigate the exciting world of Scrum.
