Liftoff-it's the unexplored, often ignored, Agile project practice.As the first act of flight, a rocket launch requires an entire set of systemsto lift the vehicle into orbit-not just the vehicle itself, but all the systemsneeded for smoothly moving off the ground into space. Likewise, your projectneeds its entire set of supporting systems in place to begin a successfuljourney to delivery.Whatever you call it (project kickoff, bootcamp, inception, or jump start),liftoff gives your team its trajectory, and launches your project. Thiscritical practice informs, inspires, and aligns everyone to a singular purpose:the successful delivery of software.This success is in your hands! Agile veterans Diana Larsen and Ainsley Niesteach you how to organize and conduct liftoffs, hold team activities todiscover what's most important, and offer a working framework for effective andlightweight agile chartering.
