The Human Side of Agile
Summary
Does your Agile team experience the following common problems? Members use established Agile practices and tools, yet with little motivation or buy-in. Even though the team is cross-functional, members don’t collaborate effectively or leverage everyone’s abilities. Rather than act empowered, they wait for permission and approval. Improvement has stalled - the team performs okay, but it can do so much better. You can’t solve these problems with more practices, rules, and tools. These are people problems. If you’re a ScrumMaster, project manager, delivery lead, or manager - or you aspire to be - you can make all the difference to your Agile team. Not by being a taskmaster, administrator, or process enforcer, but by leading your team to greatness. Listen to this audiobook on your Agile leadership journey, and it will help you to: Build and cultivate an engaged team that can handle almost any challenge Catalyze team communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement Establish yourself as a confident and capable leader who adds value Reap the full benefits of Agile in the real world with real people "I’ve rarely seen so much useful, concrete advice packaged in such a simple and accessible way." (Henrik Kniberg, Agile coach and author, Lean from the Trenches) "I just found the next must-read book for our entire leadership team." (Tricia Broderick, Director of Development, TechSmith) "Agile teams need effective leaders who ‘get’ the people stuff. Without that you’re merely going through the Agile motions." (Scott W. Ambler, co-creator of Disciplined Agile Delivery)

Cosmic Cowboy the Musical
Summary
A zany musical comedy, touching love story, and fast-paced adventure thriller combined with “Elvis Presley meets Star Wars” plot twists. Cosmic Cowboy the Musical stars the love-struck alien Prince Remo, from faraway Planet Vegas (complete with glowing blue-grey skin and personal flying saucer), and the object of his adoration, aspiring Nashville country singer Jenna Lee Jenkins. When Remo comes to town, the Nashville music scene goes wild - and so does Jenna's sleazy manager, Lance. Can Remo get the girl and Lance get the gigs - or will the men in black get to the alien first? Get ready for a rockin' good time! The first-ever completely integrated, full-cast musical screenplay converted into audiobook format, Cosmic Cowboy the Musical features 11 of West’s original, soundtrack-ready songs (“UFO” and “Don’t Offer Me the Moon and Stars”, for example), plus Hollywood-quality sound effects. In a glowing testimonial, Maureen Millen, an award-winning and Emmy-nominated TV producer, calls it “a funny and joyful masterpiece with fantastic songwriting.” She adds, “(I’ve) never seen/heard anything like it”, and predicts that it will “set the stage for a new genre.” Ready for production as an animated or live-action movie - a sure-fire classic in the making!
