Book description
Agile Development and Business Goals: The Six-Week Solution is a guide for the software development process, which can be challenging, difficult, and time-consuming. This process, called the “Agile process, is unique, and it features several aspects that distinguish it from the classical methods of software development. The book offers readers information about the design, implementation, and management of the different methods of creating world-class software.

This book is relevant to software development managers responsible for creating quality software products, and managing software development teams.- Explains how to employ automation in your development process to improve your company’s profitability
