About the Book
Agile is gaining popularity. More and more companies are changing their ways of developing software, moving from waterfall to agile, but most of the times localisation does not change, it is still done at the end of the development phase, but there are ways to change this.
The objective of this pocket book is to provide ideas and concepts that would help people to start thinking different and place localisation inside of the iteration. Making localisation part of the iteration activities will help organizations get the localized product to the customer sooner, timely receive the feedback from the customer thus guaranteeing better quality of the final product.
This pocket book is not intended as a complete manual for changing the entire localisation process, its purpose is to provide answers to several "How To´s" to help the readesr start introducing Agile principles in their localisation projects.
