It's a fast read, especially if you're already familiar with agile. It's a pretty good overview of what agile development might look like in a training environment.

Unfortunately, it's also sparse on details. When you're using agile development, or any other incremental method, you have to consider best practices for ensuring the deliverables integrate--even when you don't know what the future deliverables will be. I would have appreciated more about addressing this problem.
