A radical approach to getting IT projects done faster and
cheaper than anyone thinks possible

Software in 30 Days summarizes the Agile and Scrum
software development method, which allows creation of game-changing
software, in just 30 days. Projects that use it are three times
more successful than those that don't. Software in 30 Days
is for the business manager, the entrepreneur, the product
development manager, or IT manager who wants to develop software
better and faster than they now believe possible. Learn how this
unorthodox process works, how to get started, and how to succeed.
Control risk, manage projects, and have your people succeed with
simple but profound shifts in the thinking.

The authors explain powerful concepts such as the art of the
possible, bottom-up intelligence, and why it's good to fail
early--all with no risk greater than thirty days.

* The productivity gain vs traditional "waterfall" methods has
been over 100% on many projects

* Author Ken Schwaber is a co-founder of the Agile software
movement, and co-creator, with Jeff Sutherland, of the "Scrum"

Software in 30 Days is a must-read for all managers and
business owners who use software in their organizations or in their
products and want to stop the cycle of slow, expensive software
development. Programmers will want to buy copies for their managers
and their customers so they will know how to collaborate to get the
best work possible.
