Anyone who suddenly and unexpectedly finds themselves responsible for an agile project. Maybe the home remodel project turned out to be a little more difficult and complex than you expected. An organization you volunteer for may need a project to build a new wing for an orphanage and asks you to help. Or your manager gave you a project management book and put you in charge of an important work project. In business, it's not uncommon to see team leaders doing project managers' work, and they may not even be aware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCongratulations, you just became an accidental agile project manager!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the missing agile project management \"quick start\" guide for beginners, accidental, aspiring new agile project managers, and for those exploring agile project management careers or looking for a refresher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA process and an acronym will help the accidental agile project manager remember the essential steps of projects.
