Leading an Agile team calls for unexpected changes and typical project management tactics. You simply can't approach an Agile Project with the same mentality as you usually use. Agile teams are self-organized, self-directing, and lack a hierarchical structure that often defines project management. But even with the lack of common elements, you can be a team leader and guide your project to success. Even if you're not familiar with coding or software development, understanding the Agile manifesto, and the basics of Agile project management, you can be a valued part of the team.
Within this book you'll learn:
- The principles of Agile development
- Different methods to guide your team toward success
- How to keep team members accountable
- Your role within the Agile team and how to best act as a leader
- How to address conflict and tension within your team
- Valuable tools to use to help your team communicate clearly and collaborate effectively
- How to manage the events that drive Agile projects
Managing an Agile project can go smoothly if you use the principles and constructs of an Agile team the way they were intended. Some modern tools have made that even easier, but you'll always need to have a grip on the human element of team management as well. By expanding your knowledge of Agile, you can balance the importance of people, the usefulness of tools, and the value of the principles laid out in the Agile Manifesto.

Have you thought about a career in data science? It's where the money is right now, and it's only going to become more widespread as the world evolves. Machine learning is a big part of data science, and for those that already have experience in programming, it's the next logical step.
Machine learning is a subsection of AI, or Artificial Intelligence, and computer science, using data and algorithms to imitate human thinking and learning. Through constant learning, machine learning gradually improves its accuracy, eventually providing the optimal results for the problem it has been assigned to.
It is one of the most important parts of data science and, as big data continues to expand, so too will the need for machine learning and AI.
Here's what you will learn in this quick guide to machine learning with Python for beginners:
- What machine learning is
- Why Python is the best computer programming language for machine learning
- The different types of machine learning
- How linear regression works
- The different types of classification
- How to use SVMs (Support Vector Machines) with Scikit-Learn
- How Decision Trees work with Classification
- How K-Nearest Neighbors works
- How to find patterns in data with unsupervised learning algorithms
You will also find plenty of code examples to help you understand how everything works.
If you are ready to take your programming further, scroll up, click Buy Now, and find out why machine learning is the next logical step.

It’s the apocalypse, and apparently, I can’t trust anyone.
Aeron had every opportunity to explain the horses that were haunting my drawings. I asked him several times about his crazy zombie killing horse. He omitted to tell me he was the Horseman of Death, until Leif let it slip he was the Horseman of Pestilence when he introduced himself to me. I don’t know who I’m madder at - Aeron for lying to me, or myself for just ignoring all the clues and telling myself there was no way it was possible - and trusting him.
I’m trapped in a militarized city in Mexico with two of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. They say they are my friends, but are they really? Does Aeron actually care about me, or was that some big ruse to get me here so Leif could take my blood?
Aeron is apologetic, but Leif seems to want to talk. Maybe he’ll actually tell me the truth about how my blood caused the apocalypse.
The Black Rider is Book Two of End of Days: a post-apocalyptic slow burn reverse harem romance. The harem will slowly grow as the books progress. The harem features the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
You’ll judge me.
Hate me and tell me I’m wrong.
Refuse to see how my darkness is what she needs.
While I don’t particularly care about your feelings in the matter, and while I pursue her despite the wedding bells that rang for another, only I can see how she is drowning beneath mediocrity.
How many times must I remind her?
It can’t matter that I am the person who ruined her life.
The man who killed her father.
The constant shadow that watches her sleep.
The lover who prefers dirty alleyways to freshly laundered sheets.
She’s mine.
Always has been.
I'm the worst thing for her, yet I’m the only salvation she knows.
He had his chance to make her happy.
He failed.
He didn't see how she was dying inside because he couldn't know her.
Not like I know her.
I am her stalker.
Her protector.
And the only man that can bring her back to life.
***This book contains sensitive subject matter.
I am a Legend. Born to fight Death itself. Sworn to act as Zeus’ thunderbolt against the darkness.
And now I’m mortal. Despite having Apollo, Poseidon, and Ares by my side I lost. I don’t have any second chances. Ares trained me to be a stronger warrior, Poseidon taught me to be the wisest leader, and Apollo showed me passion to be a glorious champion.
Each of them has entrusted me with their hearts, and I have given them mine as well. And it's still not enough. I need to convince Hades, Ruler of the Underworld, to help me. With his aid we stand the smallest chance, the slimmest of hopes. He’s one hot mess of a God and the closer we get the further he pulls away, and the more it tears me apart.
But I need to win him to my side, to our side, and make this brooding loner deity a team player too.
Can I even trust Hades with my heart, when I have already lost my soul to something darker?
I’m a Hero. Created to fight Chaos. Sworn to act as Zeus’ spear to avenge Olympus.
And I need to fight harder.
When death comes for those I love, I fight.
And despite the radiant love of Apollo and the swelling love of Poseidon, I must find room to embrace war. That means getting close to Ares.
To win a war you need allies you can trust and who trust each other. Apollo, Poseidon, and Ares don’t see eye to eye at the best of times.
Throw my deepening love for each of them into the mix and it seems impossible. I need to convince all of them we’re on the same side, and war makes for strange bedfellows. Then there’s Hades. He might be the key to our success, or the trigger for our doom. But he triggers the best and worst in me, and I can't help but melt into his darkness.
Can a brooding vicious war god help me to fight this war across multiple fronts. Can the god of war even show love?
I'm a champion. Bound to fight Titans. Sworn to act as Zeus' shield and defend the gods.
And I'm in trouble. Apollo's bright love is consuming, and the dark god Hades fills my dreams with lust and desire. Even though I'm torn between them, the sea god, Poseidon, surfaces to calm the chaos, except I'm falling for him.I'm living my new life on a sword's edge, losing part of myself with each passing day. Trying to walk the fine line between my humanity and godhood is proving difficult.Heracles attempts to help me control my new power, and Ares insists I leap into the fight. All while the darkness is consuming souls with greater frequency. And I worry not even the gods can stop Death.I'm drowning in Poseidon's affection...it's either hold on tight...or be swept away. But either way, Poseidon is mine.
