A very easy to understand review of Agile PM

A great way to understand the key concepts of Agile Project Management drawing regular comparisons with the waterfall methodology.

Important note, there are lots of references to tables that as an audio listener we don’t have access to!

so so book

tried my best to get through it but found that it was to list based and too much detail for a no dummies guide so on hindsight I think I should have gone for a shorter book because I was looking for an overview so not that great

Good introduction

got this as an I troductuon to the subject of agile. it covers the basics well but for an audio book there's allot of reference to websites and other sources so best to read with a pen and paper. the narator is fine but can get monotonous if listened to in long stints

Great intro to agile

This was a great welcome to agile. This book have taken me from a novice not having any idea what agile is to be able to comfortably explain the principles of agile.

Navigation Problems

Ok - This is a technical book where one is requested part way through a chapter to go back to other chapters if one requires a refresher on a particular term or concept. That's where the problems lies in the narrative.

Part 1 starts at chapter 2 ??

Part 2 starts at chapter five

Parts are not mentioned in the chapter list - only chapters which are wholly out of sync. Fine if listening from one end of the book to the other but as a dip-in book it fails tragically

This means it is almost impossible to navigate around the product when and where suggested to in the narration
