There are some IT Agile delivery principles that I adopted to get this book (Sahitya Jhari) out:
1. After compiling the free verse poetry written in the last 2 years, the book design was initiated - both print and e-book simultaneously.
2. Parallel Marketing and Sales cycle was initiated with "design" soft copy as proof of concept. Feedback was sought from established writers and a sample of readers (end clients).
3. New poetry (stories) was being written/added and existing poetry was modified, while the final design was still in progress.
4. From initiation to Aavishkarana...it just took 3 weeks with close to 450 books circulated.
5. From internal print release...it just took a week for e-launch with minimal custom changes to the print version...a truly Agile Delivery.
