What's an accidental agile project manager, you ask? Anyone who suddenly and unexpectedly finds themselves responsible for an agile project. Maybe, the home remodel project turned out to be a little more complicated and complex than you expected.

It's not uncommon to see team leaders doing project managers' work, and they may not even be aware.
