In Understandable Agile for Everyone I want to clarify what Agile is – a lightweight but disciplined way of thinking and working. Not the big, scary techno-monster-under-the-bed people might think, evidenced by poor Agile practices and misunderstandings. Now that we live in an age propelled by massive and unprecedented technological change, the ability to adapt and innovate has become an absolute necessity. It's never been more critical to get these messages right.

I have filled these pages with an easy-to-follow guide on the mindset, tools, and techniques, with practical examples, many illustrations and tips that will help you build the concepts from scratch to navigate your Agile journey. It is a guide to grasping the mindset and techniques of Agile that have revolutionised how we approach work and life. Here, I have made it accessible to everyone, not just professionals. The approach in this book is borrowed from what I think are the most effective tools and techniques, taken from various methods and the latest thinking (including the use of artificial intelligence) to understand and use in real-world applications. Whether you're seeking to learn about Agile from first principles, improve your business, enhance customer satisfaction, or improve your team's agile performance – the principles and practices outlined in Understandable Agile for Everyone will help you rethink how you work.

Innovation is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity – and Agile is the core skill to enable improvement and innovation.
