Clear understanding

Good overall. Would’ve liked some detailed scenarios to tie it all together, more details on specifications like Agilometer, 5 targets, IP to CP. Good narrator.

Incredible guide

I liked this audiobook due to its holistic way, a spirit of practical Agile, not concentrating on a specific framework. Compulsory guide for PMI-ACP certification.
