Paperback. Your manager just asked why nothing is closed on the board. You shipped auth this sprint - tests, PR, QA walkthrough. But the parent ticket moved to QA, it is off your name, and on the dashboard it looks like you did nothing.That is Agilefall: Agile in name, Waterfall in practice. Your team has sprints, standups, and story points. It also has a QA phase at the end of every sprint, a capital budget that locked scope in October, and a roadmap your team did not write. You are not failing at Scrum. You are playing a different game.Surviving Agilefall is not another book about implementing Scrum correctly. It is a field guide for Monday morning in the company you actually work for - written from 30 years inside enterprise teams where Agile was the official language and October's capital plan was the real one.You will learn how to: Keep your work visible when tickets leave your name the moment they hit "Ready for Testing" - so mid-sprint reports stop implying you did nothing.Survive estimation on two tracks - story points for the team, days for finance - without pretending they measure the same thing.Commit to sprints realistically when scope and dates were fixed before you saw the backlog.Partner with QA instead of fighting over rollover, velocity, and who broke the board.Manage up without selling out - including how not to win an argument and lose three years of career (a lesson paid for in public).Understand the budget trap - why October's capital plan becomes January's "agile" roadmap, and how to negotiate inside that cycle.Move the needle incrementally when you will not transform the enterprise this quarter - and why that is enough.The book includes a scored Agilefall diagnostic you can run with your team - questions that map exactly where your hybrid stands and which friction points to address first. Add dual-board workflow tactics, handoff discipline, and dry humor that sounds like a senior developer venting to a friend who has seen it all before.The preface is honest about limits: you will not fix the organization alone. The epilogue is honest about hope: a real project where the process actually worked, under real pressure, when the conditions finally aligned.Who this book is for: developers, tech leads, and engineering managers in organizations that call themselves agile while demanding waterfall predictability. If your retros repeat the same action items, your velocity is ignored at planning time, and your sprint board is a graveyard of overcommitted stories - you are the target audience.Who this book is not for: coaches selling a clean agile rollout, or teams already living the manifesto without compromise. If that is you, please write your own book.Perfect for readers of Agile Anti-Patterns who need Monday-morning survival tactics, not another rollout deck, and for fans of The Unwritten Laws of Engineering who want sprint-specific vocabulary for the hybrid you already live in.Stop drowning in process. Start shipping software in the environment you have. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…

Your manager just asked why nothing is closed on the board. You shipped auth this sprint - tests, PR, QA walkthrough. But the parent ticket moved to QA, it is off your name, and on the dashboard it looks like you did nothing.
That is Agilefall: Agile in name, Waterfall in practice. Your team has sprints, standups, and story points. It also has a QA phase at the end of every sprint, a capital budget that locked scope in October, and a roadmap your team did not write. You are not failing at Scrum. You are playing a different game.
Surviving Agilefall is not another book about implementing Scrum correctly. It is a field guide for Monday morning in the company you actually work for - written from 30 years inside enterprise teams where Agile was the official language and October's capital plan was the real one.
You will learn how to:
- Keep your work visible when tickets leave your name the moment they hit "Ready for Testing" - so mid-sprint reports stop implying you did nothing.
- Survive estimation on two tracks - story points for the team, days for finance - without pretending they measure the same thing.
- Commit to sprints realistically when scope and dates were fixed before you saw the backlog.
- Partner with QA instead of fighting over rollover, velocity, and who broke the board.
- Manage up without selling out - including how not to win an argument and lose three years of career (a lesson paid for in public).
- Understand the budget trap - why October's capital plan becomes January's "agile" roadmap, and how to negotiate inside that cycle.
- Move the needle incrementally when you will not transform the enterprise this quarter - and why that is enough.
The book includes a scored Agilefall diagnostic you can run with your team - questions that map exactly where your hybrid stands and which friction points to address first. Add dual-board workflow tactics, handoff discipline, and dry humor that sounds like a senior developer venting to a friend who has seen it all before.
The preface is honest about limits: you will not fix the organization alone. The epilogue is honest about hope: a real project where the process actually worked, under real pressure, when the conditions finally aligned.
Who this book is for: developers, tech leads, and engineering managers in organizations that call themselves agile while demanding waterfall predictability.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
