Jerry Weinberg has been called "the grandfather of Agile Programming." Like all grandfathers, he watches his descendants with close interest and tries to help them succeed in life. In this book, Jerry offers us his grandfatherly observations and advice for those readers who want to grow up to be successful Agilists.

If you're using Agile, or thinking about using Agile in the future, Agile Impressions will give you much of the background you need to be successful.

Agile manifest explained.

[Johnny]

This book offers a nice view back in a time where the terms and methods we now use where fresh and in its creational phase. The collection of essays to different aspects is a nice change to the other parts in the Software Quality series and give you a realistic feeling on how it was back in the good old days.

If you're at all interested in Agile processes, whether you practice them or hope to, read this book. It will stimulate your thinking, which in turn will improve your results.

[David Robinson]

Another classic Jerryism full of wonderful stories and keen insight. If you need some perspective on Agile in the broader context of computing, this is a great place to find it.
