Product Description
When software development teams move to agile methods, experienced project managers often struggle—doubtful
about the new approach and uncertain about their new roles and responsibilities. In this book, two long-time
certified Project Management Professionals (PMPRs) and Scrum trainers have built a bridge to this dynamic
new paradigm. They show experienced project managers how to successfully transition to agile by refocusing
on facilitation and collaboration, not “command and control.” The authors begin by explaining
how agile works: how it differs from traditional “plan-driven” methodologies, the benefits
it promises, and the real-world results it delivers. Next, they systematically map the Project Management
Institute’s classic, methodology-independent techniques and terminology to agile practices.
They cover both process and project lifecycles and carefully address vital issues ranging from scope
and time to cost management and stakeholder communication. Finally, drawing on their own extensive
personal experience, they put a human face on your personal transition to agile--covering the emotional
challenges, personal values, and key leadership traits you’ll need to succeed. Coverage includes
Relating the PMBOKR Guide ideals to agile practices: similarities, overlaps, and differences
Understanding the role and value of agile techniques such as iteration/release planning and retrospectives
Using agile techniques to systematically and continually reduce risk Implementing quality assurance
(QA) where it belongs: in analysis, design, defect prevention, and continuous improvement Learning
to trust your teams and listen for their discoveries Procuring, purchasing, and contracting for software
in agile, collaborative environments Avoiding the common mistakes software teams make in transitioning
to agile Coordinating with project management offices and non-agile teams “Selling”

Product Description
This practical reference provides a comprehensive introduction and tutorial on the main statistical
analysis topics, demonstrating their solution with the most common software package. Intended for
anyone needing to apply statistical analysis to a large variety of science and enigineering problems,
the book explains and shows how to use SPSS, MATLAB, STATISTICA and R for analysis such as data description,
statistical inference, classification and regression, factor analysis, survival data and directional
statistics. It concisely explains key concepts and methods, illustrated by practical examples using
real data, and includes a CD-ROM with software tools and data sets. Readers learn which software tools
to apply and gain insights into the comparative capabilities of the primary software packages. Major
improvements of the second edition are the inclusion of the R language, a new section on bootstrap estimation
methods and an improved treatment of tree classifiers as well as extra examples and exercises.
