The end result is a comprehensive guide for project managers to successfully bridge the gap between the two diverse methodologies of Agile and Waterfall." -Maureen Weverka, PMO Director, Mutual of Omaha; "From software developers to project managers, if you're looking to move to Agile, let author Barbee Davis show you the way. With well-written prose that gets down to brass tacks, Agile Practices for Waterfall Projects peels back the Agile onion, showing you how to use the methodology to implement and deliver projects in today's competitive market." -David Geary, Software developer and author of Graphic Java and Core HTML5 Canvas
