1.3. Structure of the workbook

This workbook will lead you through a simple Agile setup one topic at a time. The topics have low interdependencies, but we sometimes refer to explanations given in earlier topics. The workbook starts with the people and deals with culture, communication, and stakeholders (Chapter 2). The next chapter describes the general process of Agile working (Chapter 3). Next, you will work through the Elements used and how they are structured and defined (Chapter 4). Then, the very useful tool of the Kanban board is introduced (Chapter 5) before we conclude with the Agile meeting cadence (Chapter 6), author bios, and a glossary. The chapters will first introduce the topic, then provide examples and templates. Spanning across the whole book, the case of a litigation project shows the practical applicability of these methods.
