Agile Development in the Real World by Alan Cline Pdf
This book is a practical guide for new agile practitioners and contains everything a new project manager needs to know to get up to speed with agile practices quickly and sort out the hype and dogma of pseudo-agile practices.The author lays out the general guidelines for running an agile project with the assumption that the project team may be working in a traditional environment (using the waterfall model, or something similar). Agile Development in the Real World conveys valuable insights to multiple audiences: For new-to-agile project managers, this book provides a distinctive approach that Alan Cline has used with great success, while showing the decision points and perspectives as the agile project moves forward from one step to the next. This allows new agile project managers or agile coaches to choose between the benefits of agile and the benefits of other methods. For the agile technical team member, this book contains templates and sample project artifacts to assist in learning agile techniques and to be used as exemplars for the new practitioner’s own project. For the Project Management Office (PMO), the first three chapters focus on portfolio management. They explain, for the agilists’ benefit, how projects are selected and approved, and why projects have an inherent "shelf-life" that results in hard deadlines that may seem arbitrary to traditional technical teams. What You Will Learn: How and why the evolution of project management, from PM-1 (prescriptive) to PM-2 (adaptive) affects modern 21st century project management. How sociology (stakeholder management), psychology (team dynamics), and anthropology (organizational culture) affect the way software is developed today, and why it is far more effective A clear delineation of what must to be accomplished by all the roles (PM, BA, APM, Developer, and Tester), why those roles are needed, and what they must do Step-by-step guide for a successful project based on studies and the author’s own experiences. Specific techniques for each role on the development team, both in the pre-iteration and iteration cycles, of product development. The appendices contain templates that the team could use or modify to tailor their own agile processes specific to the team, project, and organization.
Navigating Ruptures, Repairs, and Termination Within the Therapeutic Process by Judy Z. Koenigsberg Pdf
This book explores the importance of the therapeutic relationship, the tensions or disagreements that may emerge during a therapy session, and how they can be repaired. Dr. Koenigsberg introduces a two-part transtheoretical, psycholinguistic model which focuses on the connection between ruptures and the termination phase of therapy, emphasizing the verbal and nonverbal nuances of language, to understand what is happening in the therapeutic alliance. With a reliance on psycholinguistic elements, this model can guide therapists who wish to reduce the premature termination of patients from therapy. Written in an accessible format, it provides case examples, including the patient’s and therapist’s inner experiences, and defines and describes the phases of therapy so that difficult transitions in the therapeutic process can be navigated with skill and compassion. This text is essential for providing early career as well as more seasoned therapists with excellent strategies to repair their therapeutic relationships with clients.
