Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.
And yet, that’s exactly what most organizations do when unpredictability arises. Instead of fighting against it, why not work with unpredictability instead?
The Art of Slicing Work shows you how to navigate unpredictability and stay focused on delivering results that matter—allowing for steady and controllable progress, creating a sense of shared ownership and responsibility, and maximizing the value of the work produced.
This isn’t another Scrum-based product development book for the tech crowd, nor is it a theoretical leadership framework. It’s a real-world, low-jargon guide filled with stories, explanations, and lessons developed and honed through years of organizational coaching. With this book, you will gain new insight into how to lead your teams through unpredictable projects, whether in commercial, non-profit, or public sector organizations
Anton Skornyakov was trained as a mathematician and physicist before pivoting his career to entrepreneurship and business coaching. He is passionate about improving collaboration in organizations in the commercial but also in the public and nonprofit sectors.
This passion led to his current role as co-founder and managing director of Agile.Coach, where he has coached nearly a hundred organizations and thousands of people in the art of slicing work. This book represents the sum total of all those stories, lessons, and principles.

I was responsible for co-founding a new countrywide government institution in an environment of high volatility. Anton's knowledge helped me to set up more flexible and adaptable structures. I am glad to see it condensed into a book.
