商品描述

Is your team considering agile? Are you interested in agile software development, and want to learn more? Do you think agile might help you build better software? You’re not alone. Agile is increasingly popular with software teams because the ones that have “gone agile” often talk about the great results they get. The software they build is better, which makes a big difference to them and their users. Not only that, but when agile teams are effective, they have a much better time at work! Things are more relaxed, and the working environment is a lot more enjoyable.
 

Head First Agile is a brain-friendly guide to understanding agile concepts and ideas. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

The agile mindset, what an agile methodology is, and why agile methodologies that seem so different can still all be agile

Scrum, and how it can help you build better, more valuable software, and make your team and your users happier

XP, and how its focus on code and programming can help you and your team build better systems

Lean and Kanban, and how they can help your whole team get better every day

We have two goals for Head First Agile. First and foremost, we want you to learn agile: what it is, and how it can help you build better software and improve your team. But we also are focused on our readers looking to pass the PMI-ACP certification, so not only does the book have 100% coverage of the material for the PMI-ACP exam, it also includes end-of-chapter exam questions, a complete exam study guide, exam tips, and a full-length practice PMI-ACP exam—everything that you need to pass the exam.
 

So while Head First Agile is useful for developers, project managers, and others who want to prepare for and pass the PMI-ACP certification exam, this unique book is also valuable for software team members (including developers) who don't necessarily need to pass the PMI-ACP certification exam, but want to learn about agile and how it can help them.

Based on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, this book uses a visually rich format to engage your mind, rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. Why waste your time struggling with new concepts? This multi-sensory learning experience is designed for the way your brain really works.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

你的團隊是否正在考慮敏捷開發?你對敏捷軟體開發感興趣,並想要更深入了解嗎?你認為敏捷可能有助於你建立更好的軟體嗎?你並不孤單。敏捷在軟體團隊中越來越受歡迎,因為那些已經「轉向敏捷」的團隊經常談論他們所獲得的巨大成果。他們所建立的軟體更好,這對他們和使用者來說都有很大的差別。不僅如此,當敏捷團隊有效時,他們在工作上會更輕鬆愉快!事情更加輕鬆,工作環境更加愉快。

《Head First Agile》是一本腦友善的指南,用於理解敏捷概念和思想。以下是書中的內容:

- 敏捷心態,敏捷方法論是什麼,以及為什麼看似截然不同的敏捷方法論仍然可以是敏捷的
- Scrum,以及它如何幫助你建立更好、更有價值的軟體,讓你的團隊和使用者更加快樂
- XP,以及它對代碼和編程的關注如何幫助你和你的團隊建立更好的系統
- Lean和Kanban,以及它們如何幫助你的整個團隊每天都變得更好

我們對《Head First Agile》有兩個目標。首先,我們希望你學會敏捷:它是什麼,以及它如何幫助你建立更好的軟體和改進你的團隊。但我們也專注於那些希望通過PMI-ACP認證的讀者,因此這本書不僅涵蓋了PMI-ACP考試的所有內容,還包括章末的考試題目、完整的考試學習指南、考試技巧和一個完整的PMI-ACP模擬考試,這些都是你通過考試所需的一切。

因此,《Head First Agile》不僅對開發人員、專案經理和其他希望準備並通過PMI-ACP認證考試的人有用,這本獨特的書對於軟體團隊成員(包括開發人員)也很有價值,他們不一定需要通過PMI-ACP認證考試,但想要了解敏捷以及它如何幫助他們。

基於認知科學和學習理論的最新研究,這本書使用豐富的視覺形式來吸引你的思維,而不是使用文字繁重的方法讓你昏昏欲睡。為什麼要浪費時間苦苦掙扎於新概念呢?這種多感官的學習體驗是根據你的大腦真正的運作方式設計的。
