What's an accidental agile project manager, you ask? Anyone who suddenly and unexpectedly finds themselves responsible for an agile project. Maybe, the home remodel project turned out to be a little more complicated and complex than you expected. Or, your manager gave you a project management book and put you in charge of an important work project. It's not uncommon to see team leaders doing project managers' work, and they may not even be aware.

And they model the behavior that they want to see. This book tells you how.
