      abstract = {This book is a practical guide for new agile practitioners  and contains everything a new project manager needs to know  to get up to speed with agile practices quickly and sort  out the hype and dogma of pseudo-agile practices.The author  lays out the general guidelines for running an agile  project with the assumption that the project team may be  working in a traditional environment (using the waterfall  model, or something similar). Agile Development in the Real  World conveys valuable insights to multiple audiences: For  new-to-agile project managers, this book provides a  distinctive approach that Alan Cline has used with great  success, while showing the decision points and perspectives  as the agile project moves forward from one step to the  next. This allows new agile project managers or agile  coaches to choose between the benefits of agile and the  benefits of other methods. For the agile technical team  member, this book contains templates and sample project  artifacts to assist in learning agile techniques and to be  used as exemplars for the new practitioners own project.  For the Project Management Office (PMO), the first three  chapters focus on portfolio management. They explain, for  the agilists benefit, how projects are selected and  approved, and why projects have an inherent "shelf-life"  that results in hard deadlines that may seem arbitrary to  traditional technical teams.},
