Change Inc.: An Agile Fable of Transformation

In Change, Inc., Kristin Runyan makes the subject of Agile relatable by telling the story in a way that is easy to understand and easy to apply. Runyan not only describes each of the Agile tools, like Progress Boards and Fist of Five, but also provides practical application tips to immediately start using these tools in both your personal and professional life. Our main character is an eager and intelligent graduate student named Lynn who is tasked with trying to figure out what makes a particular business so successful. She visits Ozzie Optics and learns their secret--the enterprise-wide adoption of the tools and principles associated with Agile, a methodology typically tied to software development. By visiting with leaders in Finance, Sales, Marketing, HR, Operations and Account Management, Lynn learns the truly transformational power of Agile and how it can change all organizations in profound and positive ways.
