It demonstrates the reasons why many choose Agile, and how they choose to \"do\" Agile, and how they have strayed from its true meaning and intent - better products. Using a series of relatable metaphorical examples and real case studies, the book helps management, leadership, coaches, and other transformation leaders understand where their current organizational values, mindset, and practices sit within that spectrum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe back half of the book guides the reader through proven approaches to getting their organization on track for lasting Agile (cultural) transformation; for Timeless Agility.
