Agile Project Management QuickStart & Mastery Guides by ClydeBank Business Pdf

#1 Amazon Best Sellers: The Complete Guide to Agile Project Management - From Introduction to Extended Case Studies ***For the First Time Ever You Can Purchase Both Best Selling Agile Project Management Books at One Low Cost*** Agile Project Management is quickly changing the way projects are completed all around the world. A far more progressive approach than the traditional Waterfall methodology, Agile Project Management allows organizations to benefit from the progress of their project in real time while having the ability to alter the final outcomes. In the more traditional, Waterfall approach to project management, organizations only see the benefits of a project at the full time of completion or implementation stage. Through this waterfall methodology, projects that last over an extended period of time stigmatize an adjusted scope or schedule, even though the organizations that are completing them are constantly changing. It is, for this reason, amongst many other, that the Agile Project Management style has become so widely implemented in organizations spanning several different industries. Agile Project Management allows organizations to see benefits of their efforts in real time by dividing the project into smaller, more quickly implemented pieces. This approach, which contrasts the traditional methodology of implementing the entire project through "phases," allows for stakeholders to adjust goals and resources in a more fluid manner than would be possible through the Waterfall methodology. This book is a collection of our two highly successful titles on Agile Project Management: Agile Project Managment QuickStart Guide and Agile Project Management Mastery. This complete set will teach you the fundamentals of Agile Project Management as well guide you through real-world examples and case studies that demonstrate the benefits of the methodology. Everything you need to know about Agile Project Management will be covered in this book so that you can comfortably and confidently deploy the techniques and strategies in your projects. We'll take you step-by-step through the lifecycle of an Agile project, show how to schedule iterations during your project and how to win over project stakeholders with this progressive methodology. Simple and effective, this book will pay for itself over and over and again as you slowly watch project after project become successfully completed on time. Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...Why Agile Project Management Is Quickly Replacing Traditional MethodologiesWhat You Need To Know Before You Can Implement Agile Project ManagementHow Delivering Your Project In Iterations Will Change The Way You View MilestonesHow To Implement Agile Project Management Methodology From The Top Down In Your Organization Or TeamHow To Reap The Benefits From Your Project Before It Is Fully CompleteThe Top Mistakes to AVOID That Those New To Agile Project Management MakeA FREE Gift from ClydeBank Media Worth Over $250 Dollars!Much, much more!
