This book is a practical guide for new agile practitioners and contains
everything a new project manager needs to know to get up to speed with
agile practices quickly and sort out the hype and dogma of pseudo-agile
practices.The author lays out the general guidelines for running an
agile project with the assumption that the project team may be working
in a traditional environment (using the waterfall model, or something
similar).

Agile Development in the Real World conveys valuable insights to multiple audiences:

• For
  new-to-agile project managers, this book provides a distinctive
  approach that Alan Cline has used with great success, while showing the
  decision points and perspectives as the agile project moves forward from
  one step to the next. This allows new agile project managers or agile
  coaches to choose between the benefits of agile and the benefits of
  other methods.
• For the agile technical team member, this book contains
  templates and sample project artifacts to assist in learning agile
  techniques and to be used as exemplars for the new practitioner’s own
  project.
• For the Project Management Office (PMO), the first
  three chapters focus on portfolio management. They explain, for the
  agilists’ benefit, how projects are selected and approved, and why
  projects have an inherent "shelf-life" that results in hard deadlines
  that may seem arbitrary to traditional technical teams.
