This book is an absolute required read for any enterprise who wants to get it right and more so for those who may have started on the wrong foot and need a self-help guide to correct." --Scott Frost, SAFe Fellow, SPCT and Business Agility Advisor, Accenture|SolutionsIQ "The ART of Avoiding a Train Wreck was outstanding; it was a privilege to read. I have learned of multiple new books that I need to go read after reading some of the references. I absolutely loved the amount of practical advice provided. I live in a world where we still have projects, teams work overtime when needed, and we still need to meet some waterfall expectations due to external forces.

It gives you a very good impression of how a healthy transformation feels like and what to do to get there... T
