"When project managers are faced with budget cuts and fewer resources, waste elimination becomes a priority in maintaining effectiveness. This does not mean shortening or abandoning traditional project cycles. In fact, fast results on critical assignments can only be completed with strong plans and a detailed work-breakdown structure. The connections, or lack thereof, are what strongly impact performance and quality. Lean and Agile, as covered in this book, is meant to enhance traditional project management not replace the science. A strong foundation in traditional project management is necessary to appreciate the benefits of adopting Lean and Agile. Lean and Agile Project Management: How to Make Any Project Better, Faster, and More Cost Effective defines the wastes and issues found in project management and demonstrates how they can be addressed by engaging Lean Thinking and Agile Techniques. This book also: Shows how to apply Lean principals to project management (PM) Teaches the application of simple Six Sigma metrics in PM Discusses the adoption of Agile techniques in PM in order to stay on task and remain flexible Helps readers discover the theoretical synergies between popular PM programs Promotes an understanding of how Lean people skills can help a person become a better leader and manager Since the publication of the first edition of this book, the bodies of knowledge have all been systematically updated. In addition, through conducting peer groups and detailed workshops, the author has simplified many of the basics and they are now much easier to understand. Essentially, the author believes traditional project management can benefit from adding Lean and Agile, but she has simplified the model for greater efficiency"--

"Audits are laden with performance problems that cause delays in completing audit work and delivering valuable information to audit clients and stakeholders. Agile is a topic of discussion in many disciplines especially for software development and is just starting to find its way to audit. Agile project management has been used for nearly two decades to solve common problems in projects. The audit profession is eager to find solutions to fix problems in audit project management. Agile auditing is a solution to many of the common problems. Very few auditors understand agile beyond the agile mindset. This book will help auditors conduct audits better, faster, and more effectively. It teaches the "how to" implement agile auditing. The authors leverage hands-on experience with three audit departments and dialogue with a dozen other audit shops that applied agile auditing to provide in-depth insight on how to effectively implement agile auditing. A discussion of how internal audit shops in government agencies can become more agile in their work is also included."--
