Introduction

Thanks for visiting this site, the home of Mike Cohn's upcoming book, Succeeding With Agile: Getting Started and Getting Good. That sub-title may change or go away but the 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 four years and have been writing this book for over two years. 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.
