520    Ethan, the newly appointed Transformation Team Leader at 
       VeraComm Systems?a large product development 
       organization?finds himself in the middle of violent action
       : the company has failed to cope with the increasing 
       complexities of building competitive communications 
       solutions and is rapidly losing market share. Caught 
       between a traditional approach to program and portfolio 
       management, and half-baked Agile methods at the team level,
       he struggles to help his company find a way out. Faced 
       with a nearly impossible quest, he attends a conference 
       desperately seeking a solution. There he finds a glimpse 
       of hope?a method that applies the notion of Agility at a 
       much higher scale. Inspired by this discovery, Ethan 
       charges into action, launching the rollout of a new method
       at his company. But in no time, he runs into a brick wall 
       which puts the rollout, and his own career, in grave 
       danger. He comes to realize that the basic culture and his
       enterprise?s way of thinking are its biggest impediments 
       to success. His quest leads him to understand that his own
       mindset is also part of the problem.... The reader will be
       pulled into the exciting action unfolding as Ethan leads 
       his organization towards enterprise agility. Fictional, 
       but based on a broad range of real-life implementations, 
       this novel by Alex Yakyma provides a war chest of 
       techniques and tools to support large-scale rollouts of 
       Lean and Agile methods.
