This book illustrates the agile transformation journey of a consulting organization. It consists of nine main chapters, each focusing on specific aspects of transformation. These include establishing value in business, holistic recruitment and retention, innovating performance appraisals, rethinking organizational structure, redesigning leadership roles, streamlining measurement and reward systems, and improving career paths. Some specific processes, such as corporate decision making, SMILE (budget for business improvement at employee discretion), project selection, holiday leave, and career coaching are also described. All of the transformations described build up on Management 3.0, a collection of management principles and practices that fit perfectly in an agile world. The book is of practical relevance for managers and agile coaches who want to learn how to approach agile transformation.

This pocket guide to Scrum is the one book for everyone who wants to learn or re-learn about Scrum. The book describes the framework as it was designed and intended, with a strong focus on the purpose to the rules and adding an historical perspective to Scrum and the Agile movement.

Ausschreibungen für IT Managed Services haben sich weiterentwickelt, aber Bereiche, die entscheidend für den Geschäftswert der Kunden sind, wurden bisher kaum verbessert. Wenn die Zusammenarbeit zwischen IT-Dienstleister und Kunde ins Stocken gerät, ist der nächste Innovationszyklus eine erneute Ausschreibung in frühestens drei Jahren. Diesen Zeitverlust können sich immer weniger Branchen leisten. Adaptive IT-Ausschreibungen verkürzen den Zeitraum und legen den Fokus auf Innovation und Zusammenarbeit. Dabei eignen sich adaptive Ansätze nicht nur für agile Unternehmen, sondern auch für traditionelle Organisationen. Mit diesem Buch erhalten alle Akteure, die an der Ausschreibung und dem Betrieb von Managed IT Services beteiligt sind, ein Methodenset für adaptive Ausschreibungen. Unabhängig davon, ob die Rolle in der Geschäftsleitung, im Management, in der Fachabteilung, in der IT, im Vertrieb, im Einkauf, in der Rechtsabteilung, in der Beratung oder im Betrieb angesiedelt ist, werden die Methoden detailliert und im Vergleich zu traditionellen Vorgehensweisen dargestellt. Ein Glossar hilft dabei, letzte Wissenslücken zu schließen.
