Actionable Agile Tools: Tools that make a difference - Practical tips from more than 10 years of Agile

by Jeff Campbell

“Each tool and tip that Jeff shares is based on real "in the trenches" experience, and can be used right out of the box.“ - Woody Zuill

Written by a very experienced Agile Coach, Scrum Master and Agile consultant, this book is filled with examples and tools to help you engage the team; communicate with stakeholders; bring visibility and transparency to the work of the team; and generally help Agile teams succeed.
In this book the author covers visualisation tools; retrospective facilitation tools; progress review and communication tools; and more tools that can help you tackle specific problems you may be facing with your teams.
This book is a great resource for Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Owners and Team Members in an Agile Team.

The tools in it are short, concise, target a specific issue, and above all are something you can actually DO! None of these tools are a silver bullet. They won’t fix all the problems you have overnight.

And they won’t remove the need to understand the philosophy but hopefully they will provide some inspiration!

I must say I was positively surprised. It's short but dense. No crap, just content which I really like. Second thing, you have 'agile' in the title. I don't know about you, but I sometimes get rash from hearing about 'being agile', but this book doesn't sell you anything about this. It just gives you different tools and describes how they can help in your project. It doesn't force anything, but shows ways to deal with some problems that are common not only in agile projects.

Short book in case you need some new facilitation ideas

Good little book, with the right approach and a good collection of usable tools.

Several of the tools described here look very useful and practical. I want to try them as soon as I have a team.
