On average, 50 per cent of software projects fail to deliver on time or on budget.
At least 20 per cent are cancelled before completion or renounced as failures.
Project failure costs the global economy nearly $200 billion a year.
We’re in the midst of a ‘project failure crisis’ and something needs to be done. Following the journey of software development through the 20th and 21st centuries, this book outlines a new, post-Agile methodology for creating great digital solutions in a way that’s faster, better and less wasteful. Learn from some of the world’s best companies and discover how you can go Beyond Agile.
