It addresses common misconceptions that agile development requires waterfall-style discipline or lacks rigor, and clarifies that the PMBOK® Guide supports methodology-neutral project management. The book also responds to concerns from PMP certification holders and aims to reconcile agile communities by demonstrating how PMPs can lead agile projects.
