Reviews

[Graham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clear no-nonsense guide from the voice of experience himself - ideal for those who want the gen but don't have enough time for the egg-sucking

[Jonathan Pragnell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Helpful if you want to quickly learn about Agile.

[Joseph · Rating 3 out of 5]

It has useful ideas but reads more like a summary or a reader's notes on a more fleshed out book.

[Matthew Hodge · Rating 4 out of 5]

Might be somewhat overwhelming because it includes an overview of nearly every Agile variant known to mankind. But as long as you understand that you can pick and choose between particular methodologies, it's nice and comprehensive and only around 200 pages.
