A good read on the right and wrong way to do agile, with principles to consider. The challenge of doing agile better though is trying to convince teams and companies that there is a better way, which is the same struggle as trying to convince a flat-earthed that the world is round, no matter how much evidence you bring or how much you show them companies doing it better.

I was really looking forward to this book since I appreciated Steve Berez's interview on Mik+One. I might not be the right audience for it though since I've read a lot in this area, and it seems to be aimed at business leaders who are new to agile and are seeking to apply agile principles to non-development areas.
I'd recommend reading Sooner, Safer, Happier by Jon Smart instead. It has far more actionable content while also providing more context around the patterns and anti-patterns.
