Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sunil’s book. It very much mimics the experience and reflects the findings and learnings that we are going through over last few years in my organization on the journey to agility.It is about the journey, not the transformation, as Sunil says, journey to resilience, adaptability, and creativity. The book gives you a direction and set of key principles for the continuous improvement and learning, easily adjusted and can be applied to a specific context. It will provide you with a set of guidelines to assist with creating a roadmap to agility, with the focus on ‘being’ agile and not just ‘doing’ agile.In the VUCA world, the world that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous, the Enterprise to be successful and relevant has to mature towards responsiveness and flexibility, be resilient, innovative and adaptive, and become learning organization. Sunil talks about Complex Adaptive System (CAS) as an agile living system that continuously evolves, adapts and is feedback driven, with the acknowledgement that ‘destruction is part of the evolution’, with built in ‘fail safe’ principles, and culture where people challenge anything that is not adding value, with the leadership that values diversity and inclusiveness, end empowers people. Through the understanding Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS) and applying principled that CAS is driven by to the Enterprise you’ll start the journey to agility.As I was reading the book, every part, every chapter, every sentence was confirmation of the practical experience and deep learning and it provides great guideline for the new travelers.Great book! Highly recommend it!

Amazing book and a must read for everyone. Although the book is written for CxO's; it has an excellent read for Middle management as they are the ones who actually bring in the Agility into any Organization. Sunil clearly describes the difference being doing and being Agile that is fundamental and connects well. Quite a few places everything becomes a tick in the box exercise and Sunil highlights the risks of doing that and how to truly embrace Agility. Although a bit long, the book is well paced and Sunil delves into the details of every aspect of Agility

This book is really amazing if you want your company to be Agile or your company wants to be Agile. It helps you evolve and have an agile mindset. I have read couple of chapters since I have purchased and I am glad it is in my collection of books. I have been working in agile environment for last 4-5 years but there is still so much to learn. This book is helping me mature and explore more things.
