PRAISE FOR MANAGING AGILE PROJECTS "In the hands of another, this class of material could become incoherent, but Sanjiv has enough intellectual power to ground his subject...Fans of APM and those who prefer new ideas as a catalyst for their management approach should find Managing Agile Projects rewarding." Wes Balakian, Chairman and Executive Advisor, PMI eBusiness SIG "I only wish I had read this book when I started my career in software product management, or even better yet, when I was show more given my first project to manage.
