Gear Up! - Even for agile teams not developing video games

Have you ever played a video game?  Have you ever wondered about how complex, challenging and just plain hard it can be to build worlds for a $400 machine?  Consider using agile practices for such teams...how can small teams of artists, musicians, programmers, animators and testers coordinate?

Applying agile to game development is hard, but we face the same problems other industries do.  It comes down to the same four agile values and challenges all other agile teams face .

It's primarily a people challenge.

Video games are relatable.  Everyone is familiar with them.  We all understand the product and the customer goals: find the fun.  This is why I visit companies outside the game industry as an agile trainer.  This is why the book is relevant and applicable to companies outside the game industry as well.  Even though it's about video game development you should find it relatable and fun to read.

Have a look at the sample book and decide for yourself.
