Introduction

Thanks for visiting this site, the home of Mike Cohn's upcoming book, tentatively titled Succeeding With Agile: A Guide to Transitioning and Beyond. That sub-title will change but the main title should persist through publication. This book will be about what helps teams and organizations successfully transition to agile and then make the continuous improvements that lead to long-term success. I've been researching this book, collecting anecdotes, and studying what has helped (or hurt) various companies transition to agile over the past three years. Now that I've seen enough successes and failures to be able to comfortably identify successful approaches it's time to write this book. This site has been created so that with your help the book can be the best it possibly can. Please help by visiting the Table of Contents and downloading a draft chapter and then providing feedback.
