A lot of managerial finessing is needed to handle the present era of the operations of the oil and gas industry, under the pressure of environmental issues. The recent emergence of the techniques of Agile systems offers a tremendous collection of new approaches for addressing the managerial impediments to oil and gas operations.

Agile Systems and Environmental Concerns covers how Agile systems are based on principles that emphasize team collaboration, continual planning, and continual learning, thus making an operation more responsive and adaptive to operational changes. Agile is an iterative approach to project management that helps teams achieve results faster and more accurately.

This volume contains a variety of Agile management tools and techniques to address communication, cooperation, and coordination requirements related to risk management and environmental issues, ideal for practitioners, designers, consultants, contractors, risk and quality managers, along with project managers and systems engineers involved in oil and gas projects, and related industries.
