About the Book

Agile comms is a set of techniques to help teams communicate clearly and creatively about work in progress.

It helps you communicate faster and more flexibly, adjusting what you say to changing circumstances.

It helps you use a human tone of voice, and a little creative flair, to get your point across to busy people.

“This book will set you and your comms team free.”

-- Georgina Goode, NASA JPL

“This is fantastic. Full of smart and useful advice.”

-- Russell Davies, author, Everything I Know About Life I Learned From PowerPoint
