Books on Scrum and Agile Project Management
The book Introduction to Agile Methods by Sondra Ashmore and Kristin Runyan has the goal to provide an introduction to the wide landscape of Agile software development approaches. A very ambitious goal in my mind.
The Agile Analytics book aims to provide an adaptation of the Agile development approach to the specific characteristics of Datawarehouse (DW) and Business Intelligence (BI) systems development. The book is divided into two parts.
What fascinates me the most in the Lean software development approach is the quality of the people that support it. Mary and Tom Poppendieck are not an exception to this rule. Their book “Leading Lean Software Development” achieves the seemingly contradictory goals of being very insightful but still easy and captivating to read.
The goal of the book “Lean-Agile Software Development – Achieving Enterprise Agility” by Alan Shalloway, Guy Beaver and James R. Trott, is to propose a vision of Agile software development that goes behind the current practices, more specifically Scrum, to integrate the principles of Lean development.
Scrum offers minimal guidelines for Agile project management. In his book “The Scrum Field Guide”, Mitch Lacey provides Scrum practitioners with material that should help them improve their Scrum practices.
In his foreword of the book “Management 3.0” by Jurgen Appelo, Robert C. Martin wrote that he hates management books, but “this book is smart”. I think that this book might be smart because Jurgen is smart.
It is ironic to start reading a book about a new Agile approach and to find the following quote in it: “The explosion of “branded” agile methods has resulted in a jargon-filled confusion of siloed tribes made up of uncollaborative zealots. — Mark Kennaley, Author SDLC 3.0”
