Описание: ★ Are you looking for a proven method to start and scale a successful startup?
Keep reading, and you'll find out all the great benefits the Lean Startup method can bring to your business
Eric Ries said that startups could be a success if they follow certain processes. This means that the process can always be learned and those who have experience can also teach it. Every entrepreneur will always wonder whether a startup will fail.
If you wish to begin a lean startup, you must identify a small gap in the market using time and money effectively.
Controlled Use and Deployment of Resources
One of the most important principles of a lean startup is that the startup must use every one of its resources effectively and efficiently. Since most startups do not have enough investment they use the lean business model to encourage the effective deployment and continuous development of the resources that the company does have.
A lean startup must continuously evaluate how the initial investment can be used to meet its targets and customer requirements. The startup must also ensure that it does not spend more than what is necessary to test, evaluate, and refine its products.
Entrepreneurs are everywhere
Eric Ries believes that every individual in the world is an entrepreneur. Some successful entrepreneurs have built their organization in their garage. You can find entrepreneurs in Hollywood, in the IRS, and even in well-established organizations. These people are always looking for a way to develop products that increase value to the customer.
Entrepreneurship is management
It is important to remember that every startup is not defined by its products but is an institution. Therefore, there must be a management team in place to understand and develop the startup.
Validated Learning
A startup does not exist only to build products for the customers or to make money. It exists only when the management learns how to build a sustainable business. The learning can be validated through statistical measures by running experiments that test the startups' vision.
Scrum is possibly the very first thing that people think about when someone mentions Agile. It's no coincident, and this is the most frequently used framework that teams use. It provides the highest possible value for products, allows developers to quickly and decisively adapt to changes, and keeps them productive. Mostly, it's a project management super tool, and that has led to many companies using some core Scrum tools outside of software development. Scrum is very different from the other Agile methodologies in that it has a very strict framework, with specific roles and explicit events. There are rules in place, and there are right and wrong ways of handling change events.
Product Owners love Scrum because they know exactly what to expect from their software developer team even when they're entirely new to development. Working with developers, as a Product Owner, can be a struggle, to say the least. Imagine working with a team that must create a product that you could not possibly begin to put together. Scrum uses a combination of face-to-face conversation, documentation, and breaking the project into tiny parts. With this framework, there is no room for issues with communication, or for overlooking some aspect of the project. It is at its core the truest to all twelve principles of all the Agile methodologies.
This book covers the following topics:
Advantage and Benefits
Understand Scrum
Sprinting Cycle
Tools and Methodologies
Monitoring
Systems of Control in Scrum
Application of Scrum
Metrics in Scrum
How to Build a Scrum Team
None-Core Roles in Scrum
The Dynamics of an Agile Team
Is Agile Really Applied in the Modern World of Work?
Useful Resources
...And much more
Scrum does have its own set of values that coincide with the values of Agile. Scrum Values include courage, focus, commitment, respect, and openness. The Scrum values were put into effect with the goal that it was possible for any working professional to have proficiency in all of these aspects. The Product Owners and people behind the creation of the project will likely know that they want to use Scrum. That decision to use Scrum before there is technically a team in place allows them to seek out individuals that they know can deliver on the many values of Scrum and Agile. Like many other things, though, Scrum is easy to understand and hard to master. The method relies on the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and team members to all work cohesively at every step. Many people don't know how to work this way or come from backgrounds, which required silo-based work. Scrums longstanding success record is all the proof that anyone needs though to see that it works.
Scrum is the whole of the methodology, although people often use the term to refer to meetings, the team, or even the software itself. Those are incorrect because Scrum is the whole thing. It's the values, the team, the work put in, and the communication necessary for the project.

No matter how well you estimate and schedule a project, or how well you plan for risks, project success will depend upon the cooperation of people who have their own hidden agendas, who have conflicting motivations, or who have past unresolved conflicts with each other. Getting people to work together effectively is one of the key challenges in project management.
This fascinating book looks at how to manage the people who influence our project outcomes by examining their overt (and covert) motivations. Carefully navigating this minefield of conflicting interests (or "office politics") surrounding a project will allow you to better support and motivate external stakeholders and team members to take action to help your project succeed.
Full of useful tips and sound, practical advice, this book distills decades of research on the topic into actionable steps you can take today to improve your success as a project manager.

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.
In Breakthrough Project Management, Ian Heptinstall & Robert Bolton show you how, by combining proven innovations in project management and procurement, you can break the so-called 'Iron Triangle' of project management.
It is no longer a case of "Time, Cost Quality, choose any two".
Each of the two main elements of Breakthrough Project Management has been shown to bring step-change improvements in project durations, predictability, cost and quality.
Discover how Critical Chain Project Management reduces project durations by at least 25%, whilst at the same time increasing reliability and reducing cost.
Learn how Project Alliancing removes the commercial and contractual obstacles to establishing a truly collaborative project team across the range of suppliers and contractors involved in the project. This is key not only to exploiting Critical Chain, but to many other project improvement techniques, and to further increasing quality whilst reducing risk, cost and duration.
Do you want to be left behind as your competitors breakthrough the constraints imposed by today's "best practice" in project management?
