This book covers the guiding principles and process of Agile perfectly in terms of detail and relevance in the real-world. Many books obsess with certain ceremonies in Agile and Scrum that most organisations and people running Agile teams understand pretty well already. I like how this book extends the basic understanding in the Agile domain and continually ties it back to real-world examples and challenges.

A great read for everyone embarking on an agile journey that needs to consider a business case and ongoing benefits realization.

Packed with useful information, and convincingly well written, this title may prove to be a missing link for agile. This publication does an excellent job at shedding light on the arcane, and often overlooked, financial aspects within agile projects.

Alan articulates techniques to apply in given situations within an agile project. He demonstrates his understanding and practical experience for a variety of topics, such as risk management and currency hedging, which impressed me greatly.

Financial planning and management for agile initiatives is a topic that has needed some guidance for some time. This book provides a deep dive into it and will be fascinating to those who want to understand the detail of it, explaining popular financial and risk management practices and theory and aligning them to an agile approach.
